Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Racing Club de Lens to score. At the same time, Olympique Lyonnais does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' 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 Paul Akouokou suffering a number of foals already.
10' Olympique Lyonnais come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
15' A stunning finish from Jake O'Brien — that came from absolutely nowhere!
20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Racing Club de Lens and Olympique Lyonnais are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
26' What a strike from Wesley Said! The score is 1-1.
31' The travelling Olympique Lyonnais supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
34' The referee has no hesitation. Salis Abdul Samed is booked for Racing Club de Lens — Yellow card on 34.
39' Duje Caleta-Car is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Racing Club de Lens so far.
41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Facundo Medina on 41.
46' Time for substitution for Racing Club de Lens. Deiver Machado is replaced by Przemyslaw Frankowski.
51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
52' A goal from the Poland international Przemyslaw Frankowski! He fires home on 52 to make it 2-1!
57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Moreira made 470 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
62' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
63' It is a substitution in Olympique Lyonnais team. Skelly Alvero is replaced by Paul Akouokou on 63 minute.
64' Racing Club de Lens make a change. Wesley Said trudges off to be replaced by Morgan Guilavogui on 64 minutes.
69' It is a cagey affair so far. Racing Club de Lens in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Olympique Lyonnais's compact 4-2-3-1.
72' Against the run of play, Jake O'Brien has scored! This game has turned on its head.
74' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Przemyslaw Frankowski makes no mistake. 3-2!
78' Racing Club de Lens ring the changes. Ruben Aguilar has done his job and it is now time for Massadio Haidara to step up.
83' Kevin Danso has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 39 cards already picked up this season.
86' Ernest Nuamah makes way for Mama Balde at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Olympique Lyonnais.
87' It is a substitution in Racing Club de Lens team. Neil El Aynaoui is replaced by Nampalys Mendy on 87 minute.
89' The crowd applauds Clinton Mata as he leaves the pitch. Sael Kumbedi steps in for Olympique Lyonnais.
90' Florian Sotoca has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 90.
The final score is 3-2.
