Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. OGC Nice host Olympique Lyonnais — let the battle begin!
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rudi Garcia will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' Olympique Lyonnais is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' The 31-year-old Leo Dubois has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' It looks surprising OGC Nice does not make any changes. Robson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 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 Rony Lopes suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 32' Memphis Depay adds to his 2 season tally! Olympique Lyonnais lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 37' Jean Lucas has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 390 appearances.
- 39' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Tinotenda Kadewere makes no mistake. 0-2!
- 43' What a moment for Amine Gouiri! That strike on 43 puts his side firmly in control.
- 48' Both keepers have barely been tested. OGC Nice and Olympique Lyonnais are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 57' The referee has no hesitation. Khephren Thuram-Ulie is booked for OGC Nice — Yellow card on 57.
- 62' Another change for OGC Nice made on 62 minute. Hassane Kamara leaves to be changed by Youcef Attal.
- 63' Assisted by Tinotenda Kadewere with the perfectly-timed delivery and Karl Toko Ekambi makes no mistake. 1-3!
- 66' Controversy at the stadium! Maxwel Cornet argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 71' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 73' Houssem Aouar doubles the advantage! 1-4 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 74' Alexis Trouillet is replacing Rony Lopes for the OGC Nice side.
- 79' Mattia De Sciglio gets the nod from Olympique Lyonnais. He replaces Maxwel Cornet and will look to change the dynamic.
- 81' The Olympique Lyonnais bench stirs into life. Jason Denayer is withdrawn and Djamel Benlamri gets his opportunity.
- 86' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 86 minutes.
- 87' The supporters are chanting for Jean Lucas. He replaces Memphis Depay on 87 minute.
- Another three points for Olympique Lyonnais.
