00:05the supporters also pay tribute tonight to another former player who passed away
00:19so Lyon tried to use their disappointments on the continent to propel them domestically
00:24are going in search of their first win in the city since 1997. Immediately they've got some defending to do.
00:33He's talking about top scorer Issa Samare, he's one of those who's departed for the 7th.
00:42It's a game over the top for the Lyon defence, second upside flag of the game.
00:51It's time against Gizuta, hope he just went marginally too early.
01:02In the second half becomes Lionel Passi to get his first club in the evening.
01:11Jose Pena was hurt, he was kind of a target for that goal, Miguel Pena.
01:26It's time to look at that sort of inner opening.
01:29Nice freedom point out to Lisa.
01:33The ball game came back in and there only had eyes for the ball.
01:51It's time to look past here, it's Ali Samata, he's got a go.
01:57It's time to go for the bender, the half won't have a corner.
02:02It's time to go for the ball game.
02:06It's time to go for the ball game.
02:10It's time to go for the ball game.
02:12It's time to go for the ball game.
02:13So that's our game.
02:14One guy, Nick Colbrey.
02:17He's got the back three today.
02:19This is Kyle Rudash.
02:21He's in the quick fence.
02:23He took a flick off the boots of the defender.
02:35Now you go back, it's time to go for the ball game.
02:45He's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive, a player of his quality, really
03:06should score and he knows it better than anyone.
03:13Well, Hamir Richardson turned the ball over, his effort from Akenda was beaten away by the goalkeeper, Taliso, and so
03:22much time to set himself, he got right underneath him.
03:29Boudache, running at pace, he's got two defenders with him, oh, and it's dribbled all the way across the goal
03:35line, and off the post, fire a defender's deflection, on Fancy, short is attempt on his across, here's Taliofico, still
03:45got a way for the half.
03:52Visitor's goal, doing something of a sharp life, in the last couple of minutes.
03:59It's how Rasul dies down.
04:03Here's that last attack, Kyle Goudache, it looked as though really he'd run out of room, but the deflection off
04:09Seko, very nearly ended up with a no goal.
04:34No foul on Boudache, and the half, growing in confidence.
04:42He's got another quarter off Taliofico.
04:44He's got another quarter off Taliofico.
04:45He's got another quarter off Taliofico.
04:50Rasul and Jaya again to take, with the thigh of a defender, and then blazed, well over the top, by
04:59the young debutants, Jibril Uziad.
05:05Seko's going to have a blast, why not.
05:15That one was well wide in the end, by Ayume Seko, fight outside.
05:24Here's a chance, oh, Nizuta, snatched at it, and sliced it well wide in the end.
05:38You've got to take the cap off to him.
05:40He keeps keeping La Havre in the top division.
05:45It's going to be a foul, and a card.
05:48First one of the game, to Ayume Seko, for chopping down Kyle Goudache.
05:56That's the problem for defenders, he's...
06:00Leon go again.
06:01Tolisso from long range, and Passi will feel that one.
06:12Well, Norma did really well to reel that one in, goodness me.
06:16Any sort of a touch on that, and it's 1-0, Leon.
06:23And Appenda couldn't quite make it.
06:27There's no time for that.
06:28Referee Francois Letessier says that will do for the opening stanza.
06:34Pretty good from La Havre.
06:36They forced a couple of opportunities.
06:38One very good save from Dominic Greif with the legs to deny Rasul Njaye.
06:42At the other end.
06:57So La Havre get the second half underway.
07:01Kicking from left to right in this second period.
07:05Defended very simply well in that first 45.
07:09They created the odd half-chance themselves.
07:12The best of which found the way of their captain Rasul Njaye.
07:16Of course, a good save out of Dominic Greif.
07:19Which Leon rappel for now.
07:22This is Yume Seko.
07:26Wide right is Rasul Njaye.
07:29Here's Amir Richardson.
07:31Another try.
07:33There's a long way out.
07:35And in the end, Greif watched it sail over the crossbar.
07:40But a statement of intent.
07:42And the answer to the second half.
07:43Talis Mera is another.
07:45Meantime, Rasul Njaye.
07:47Here come the half and Mizuta.
07:50Off balance.
07:53Well wide of the target.
07:56They keep posing the threat.
07:58Didier Degas side.
08:01Taliso.
08:02Trying to get the home side moving.
08:06Not on the same wavelength.
08:09Here's Karl Budash.
08:13Taliso swings in the cross.
08:14It just bounced off Bidstrup and then lashed wide.
08:17By Ernest Nurma.
08:20A little bit more intent and.
08:23Purpose about that.
08:28Just struck Bidstrup in the side of the face.
08:34Looking for the little threaded ball through.
08:37Nurma looking to steer it into the bottom corner.
08:42Couldn't hit the target.
08:43Good work by Bidstrup.
08:47Nurma set himself.
08:50That was Wayward with the finish.
08:57Taliso.
08:58Didn't break for him.
09:01Still there for Leo.
09:02Taliso across the face.
09:04Oh side netting.
09:06From Lois Appenda.
09:10With the goal gaping.
09:14An hour played.
09:15And Leon very nearly had the breakthrough.
09:20Lovely skill by Nurma.
09:21The goalkeeper.
09:23Took a touch.
09:23To send the ball wide.
09:26From Taliso's cross.
09:31And then a Penda.
09:33Minutes left.
09:35Here's the free kick.
09:36Swung it by Nurma.
09:37Oh.
09:38And Passi.
09:38Missed it completely.
09:39And it's forced in.
09:41By you know who.
09:44Corentin Taliso.
09:46The captain delivers once more.
09:51Make that nine goal involvements.
09:53In seven leaguer matches.
09:56Five goals.
09:57And four assists.
09:59He is remarkable.
10:02He is captain fantastic.
10:05He is captain fantastic.
10:20Well unfortunate fall off.
10:23But it's a goalkeeping mistake really.
10:25Lionel and Passi.
10:26Who is the man of the match against Monaco.
10:28On match day one.
10:30Went walkabouts.
10:31And got nowhere near the ball.
10:32At least first time.
10:34And then he just poured it.
10:36As it bounced around.
10:38Into the path.
10:40Of the very grateful.
10:41Corentin Taliso.
10:43Who missed one from similar range.
10:45In the first half.
10:46Not this time.
10:49And the person.
10:50Grobost.
10:51And the referee.
10:52Francois Letecher.
10:54Has been.
10:54And I guess you could go back to the old saying.
10:56If you're not interfering with the play.
10:58What are you doing on the field?
11:03No doubt.
11:04Telly if he goes offside.
11:05But he's not.
11:06Ingold in that play.
11:07Ingold in that play.
11:07Go.
11:19host.
11:24Go.
11:27Go.
11:30Go.
11:32Go.
11:33Two adversaries, final decision, all refuse, return to the game.
12:04Zachary Atacame, another tireless performance, he was the same again.
12:10Still there, oh, it's there!
12:15The visitors strike through Ali Samata, with 17 minutes left to play.
12:24A bullet header from close range.
12:30And all after Leon had had a goal by Corentin Toledo robbed out.
12:36It was a peach of a cross from Fode de Core.
12:39And Ali Samata powered it home.
12:42And it's Leon nil, Le Havre won.
12:51Well, it was Samata's cross in the first instance, it looked to have broken down.
12:56But look at this for a cross from de Core.
12:58And Samata arriving at the back stick.
13:01No stopping that one.
13:12Well, Leon he scored two goals in the entirety of last season.
13:17The veteran, Felix Basia, slaloming his way through.
13:24Long way out.
13:26Near Karte.
13:29Toliso.
13:31Onside here, Appenda.
13:33Actually wasn't, flag does go up.
13:35A little belatedly, but of course that's what the referee's assistants are told to do these days.
13:42Keep the flag down, let it play out.
13:45And if necessary, VAR will take over.
13:50T.
13:53Toliso allowed to turn.
13:55Leon corner off Seko.
14:01Let's see if that's about to change.
14:03Abner Vinicius with the corner.
14:06Flipped in towards an air post.
14:07Helped on towards the back.
14:08It's scrambled in.
14:11The equalizer arrives.
14:15It has come late on, but Lois Appenda has his first league-earn goal for Leon.
14:26The first league-earn goal in over three years, in fact.
14:32And everybody around Group Alma Stadium breathing a huge sigh of relief.
14:40It wasn't the tiniest of finishes, in all honesty.
14:46Took a touch off Ento and Kofi, and off Leonor and Pasi as well.
14:52But it coming down the right-hand side.
14:56Three-weight in the middle.
14:58Oh, and that little flick off the head of Touba just took it away from Pavel Schultz.
15:03Still there for Abner Vinicius.
15:07Crossed too deep, but it'll be driven back in.
15:11Or rather sliced back in.
15:13Oh, and nobody took control for Lahav and Malik Fafana.
15:16Could open up here.
15:18It's Josh Marja beaten away by the goalkeeper.
15:20Surely there, it's in!
15:24Looks like Lahav have stolen it after all.
15:28It's Sota Nakamura.
15:33With his first goal for his new club.
15:37Absolutely extraordinary.
15:40Didier Diga's side looked as though they were going to be hanging on for a point.
15:45But instead, it looks like they'll leave now with all three.
15:55Well, Leon defensively were undone by that lovely manoeuvre by Junior Mawanga.
16:00Josh Marja's shot was beaten away, too hard to handle.
16:04Greif did his absolute best, but couldn't deny Sota Nakamura.
16:08And Lahav take the lead for a second time.
16:20What a moment for Sota Nakamura.
16:24The late bloomer from Japan.
16:27The lone knee from San Francisco Hiroshima.
16:32Now, referee's been called to have a look at the screen for a second.
16:36Oh, is this going to be for a handball against Josh Marja in the build-up?
16:43Looks like it.
16:46He, of course, will say off the chest.
16:51I'm not sure that angle's the best.
16:56No doubt about the skill from Mawanga or the power of the shot from Josh Marja.
17:02I don't think there's too much wrong from there on in, but is that handball going to rub out the
17:09goal?
17:11That looks like clear handball.
17:20It's so difficult for the officials. We're going to find out any second now.
17:27On-field announcement coming up.
17:48The goal is ruled out. And now it's Divier Degas' turn.
18:06The goal is ruled out. And now it's Divier Degas' turn to blow up at the...
18:13I'll scramble it away. Nakamura must run for the hills if he can, but he can't get clear.
18:18And now, Abner Vinicius was held back. It's going to be a yellow card.
18:28And I don't think he can have too many complaints, Fode Degure.
18:34Because Abner Vinicius was away from him and he tried to grab the jersey.
18:39Lloyd Serpenda. Here's Malik Fofana to try and win it.
18:44And he's dragged his shot wide.
18:50Might that be the last opportunity? He had time to set himself.
18:59That was well wide in the end.
19:01And that is full time at the end of a quite remarkable 90 minutes or 97 in the end.
19:11So that's going to be it. What a match day we just had between these two Olympique Lyonnais.
19:18Dropping points. What a surprise. Big upset without doubt.
19:22And tomorrow's the next episode.
19:33An hour, it's great.
19:33Find out what's next week.
