Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Racing Club de Lens gets underway.
5' It looks like no one’s ball. Racing Club de Lens is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' It is a cagey affair so far. Olympique Lyonnais in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Racing Club de Lens's compact 3-5-2.
13' The referee has no hesitation. Moussa Niakhate is booked for Olympique Lyonnais — card on 13.
18' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
21' A goal from the Central African Republic international Goduine Koyalipou! He fires home on 21 to make it 0-1!
26' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Will Still will be considering his options from the bench.
31' With 0 assists to his name this season, Maty Ryan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Racing Club de Lens.
36' Over 36 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
41' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Olympique Lyonnais and Racing Club de Lens are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
45' That looks like a foul for a card for Malick Fofana.
50' Jonathan Gradit is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Racing Club de Lens so far.
54' That looks like a foul for a card for Nampalys Mendy.
59' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Olympique Lyonnais that had 424 games and scored 568 goals.
64' Deiver Machado was booked on 64.
69' Deiver Machado has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 88 appearances.
70' Another change for Racing Club de Lens made on 70 minute. Tom Pouilly leaves to be changed by Hamzat Ojediran.
71' Anass Zaroury is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andy Diouf at the 71 minute mark.
76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
79' Georges Mikautadze adds to his 3 season tally! Olympique Lyonnais lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
84' Olympique Lyonnais currently sit 7 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
85' Against the run of play, Anass Zaroury has scored! This game has turned on its head.
88' The Olympique Lyonnais manager makes a substitution. Corentin Tolisso departs to be replaced by Tanner Tessmann.
89' The referee shows Racing Club de Lens player a card on 89.
