Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Olympique Lyonnais to score. At the same time, OGC Nice does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 4' What a moment for Alexandre Lacazette! That strike on 4 puts his side firmly in control.
- 9' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 14' With 1 assists to his name this season, Moussa Niakhate is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Olympique Lyonnais.
- 19' The home supporters are growing impatient. Olympique Lyonnais must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 22' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sofiane Diop makes it 1-1.
- 27' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 32' Olympique Lyonnais is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Olympique Lyonnais that had 428 games and scored 575 goals.
- 41' Alexandre Lacazette doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 43' Jordan Veretout adds to his 0 season tally! Olympique Lyonnais lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
- 45' OGC Nice ring the changes. Mohamed Cho has done his job and it is now time for Badredine Bouanani to step up.
- 46' Olympique Lyonnais manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Rayan Cherki is hanging Said Benrahma on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Olympique Lyonnais side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 54' Hicham Boudaoui is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Evann Guessand made 444 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 69' The France Alexandre Lacazette breaks the deadlock on 69 minutes. 4-1!
- 71' The Olympique Lyonnais bench stirs into life. Duje Caleta-Car is withdrawn and Ainsley Maitland-Niles gets his opportunity.
- 72' Amidou Doumbouya has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yael Nandjou on 72 minute.
- 77' Another change for Olympique Lyonnais made on 77 minute. Malick Fofana leaves to be changed by Ernest Nuamah.
- 82' The Olympique Lyonnais manager makes a substitution. Corentin Tolisso departs to be replaced by Maxence Caqueret.
- 83' Issiaga Camara is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hicham Boudaoui at the 83 minute mark.
- 84' A tactical swap from OGC Nice — Rares Ilie on, Sofiane Diop off on 84 minutes.
- 89' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Pierre Sage will be considering his options from the bench.
- 90' That is a card for Olympique Lyonnais. Nicolas Tagliafico will be fuming at that decision.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
