Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Olympique Lyonnais to score. At the same time, AJ Auxerre does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AJ Auxerre needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' Olympique Lyonnais looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ernest Nuamah scoring 1 goals.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Naouirou Ahamada, as he is very good at scoring at Groupama Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 19' Roman Yaremchuk makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Olympique Lyonnais are in front.
- 24' Afonso Moreira, a Portugal forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 29' Moussa Niakhate has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 34' Olympique Lyonnais ring the changes. Orel Mangala has done his job and it is now time for Tanner Tessmann to step up.
- 35' The deadlock is broken! Sinaly Diomande gets on the scoresheet on 35 minutes.
- 40' Daniel Namaso has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 390 appearances.
- 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Olympique Lyonnais side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 52' It’s a booking for AJ Auxerre player. Daniel Namaso gets a card.
- 57' The 25-year-old Marvin Senaya has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 58' The supporters are chanting for Pavel Sulc. He replaces Tyler Morton on 58 minute.
- 59' The AJ Auxerre bench stirs into life. Fredrik Oppegard is withdrawn and Clement Akpa gets his opportunity.
- 64' 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 Endrick suffering a number of foals already.
- 66' What a strike from Corentin Tolisso! The score is 2-1.
- 71' The Ukraine forward Roman Yaremchuk breaks the deadlock on 71 minutes. 3-1!

- 77' The whistle greets Roman Yaremchuk as he departs to be replaced by Nicolas Tagliafico.
- 82' Olympique Lyonnais has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 84' A moment of madness from Gideon Mensah on 84 minutes earns him a card. AJ Auxerre will be frustrated.
- 88' A stunning finish from Bryan Okoh — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 89' Controversy at the stadium! Ruben Kluivert argues furiously but the card stands.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Olympique Lyonnais 3-2 AJ Auxerre.
