Events
Match Events
- 0' Olympique Lyonnais have kicked off against AS Saint-Etienne. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' The travelling AS Saint-Etienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Wesley Fofana, as he is very good at scoring at Groupama Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' 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 Denis Bouanga suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' It’s high time Claude Puel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.

- 27' Against the run of play, Moussa Dembele has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 32' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 53' Leo Dubois has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 53.

- 63' Charles Abi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Olympique Lyonnais tonight.
- 67' Olympique Lyonnais receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 67.
