Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Stade de la Mosson that hosts another battle between Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais.
- 5' France international Arnaud Nordin has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' Teji Savanier is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Olympique Lyonnais so far.
- 20' Montpellier HSC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Olympique Lyonnais backline.
- 23' A stunning finish from Arnaud Nordin — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 28' Nicolas Tagliafico was booked on 28.
- 33' Olympique Lyonnais is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 38' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 44' Olympique Lyonnais make a change. Corentin Tolisso trudges off to be replaced by Orel Mangala on 44 minutes.
- 49' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nemanja Matic suffering a number of foals already.

- 67' Montpellier HSC make a change. Silvan Hefti trudges off to be replaced by Enzo Tchato on 67 minutes.
- 72' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pierre Sage will be considering his options from the bench.
- 74' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alexandre Lacazette makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 79' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 82' Goal! Maxence Caqueret scores his 7 goal in 440 matches.
- 87' Montpellier HSC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
