4 more minutes!
There will be 4 minutes of added time!
BIG OPPORTUNITY!
THEATE!
It didn’t go far. The Belgian is on the rebound from this corner but cannot find the target on this recovery. Amazing !
Corner for Rennes
Doué will win in a corner on his right side! The stadium is on fire!
Rennes will deliver
Yes because Wooh just came out instead of Gouiri! Objective: equalize!
Offside for Lacazette
The Lyon striker found himself alone in front at the end of this counter-attack. The captain is finally flagged offside.
Caqueret clears
And new corner for the Reds.
Corner for Rennes
Wooh almost took this cross from Le Fée with his head. Diomande deflects this lobbed pass and sends the ball for a corner.
Yellow for Tagliafico
The match becomes very choppy. Fouls and stoppages of play follow one another. This is evidenced by this fault from the Argentine side on Kalimuendo.
New change for OL
Mahamadou Diawara takes Ernest Nuamah’s place.
Yellow for two Rennais
Theate for the fault and Matic for the dispute.
Lacazette brings everyone together
Just after the opening score, the Lyon players gathered around their captain. A few words and here we go again!
OL’S GOAL! (0-1)
LYON OPENS THE SCORE!
O’Brien comes to slam a helmet full of rage on this countered center from Kumbedi. The scorer was alone at the far post. This is the first time this season that Lyon has opened the scoring in Ligue 1.
Corner for OL
Santamaria sends this ball for a corner.
Two changes for OL
Mama Baldé is replaced by Tino Kadewere. Disappointing match for Rayan Cherki, also replaced. Jeffinho comes into play.
Impressive Matic
The old man is in the oven and at the mill. He is clearly the conductor of Rennes and allows his entire team to go up a notch.
Mandanda again
Tagliafico crosses… for Mandanda’s gloves, far from being in danger since the start of the game.
Kumbedi shot
And easy parade from Steve Mandanda. This strike from the entrance to the penalty area is too axial to bother the Stade Rennais goalkeeper.
Lyon takes control
After losing it a little at the end of the first act, OL got their foot back on the ball at the start of the second period.
Attentive Mandanda
The Rennes goalkeeper catches the ball well in the area on this cross from Tolisso.
Triple change for Rennes
Santamaria enters in place of Martin Terrier. In the process, Salah leaves his place to Kalimuendo and Belocian replaces Truffert.
Lacazette comes into play
On the Lyon side: Skelly Alvero comes out and Alexandre Lacazette comes into play!
HERE WE GO AGAIN !
So with changes on both sides as agreed.
Genesio on fire
According to information from Canal +, Genesio has never been in such a state.
Changes coming on both sides!
We are not going to leave with the same 22 actors.
HALF TIME! (0-0) on Genesio’s big anger
“You’re not in Lyon here so you shut up,” Genesio said in the corridor to one of the members of the Lyon staff.
The tension is immense between the two benches while Lyon cannot find the fault in numerical superiority.
We remain at 0-0 but it’s very, very hot. Calm has returned.
1 minute more
Fast-paced match, very little stoppage in play, and therefore only one minute of added time.
Yellow for Salah
Logical rusk for Rennais, well behind Baldé. Genesio is on fire on his sidelines.
Shot for OL!
Jake O’Brien is in the right place at the right time in the area and does not find the target on this shot. However, he was a few meters from Mandanda’s goals.
Corner for Lyon
Wooh removes this cross from Baldé’s head at the last moment. Corner to follow.
HOT ON THE SIDELINES!
A TENSE REUNION!
Rémy Vercoutre and Bruno Genesio got into serious confusion from a distance after a mistake from Caqueret.
“There is absolutely nothing!” Nothing at all ! “, launched Vercoutre from afar in a very vehement manner.
Stat’
With almost 70% possession, the Lyonnais tried their luck six times for two shots on target. Against two attempts on the Rennes side.
Salah strike
Perfectly served by Le Fée at the entrance to the Lyon area, the Rennes striker tries his luck but Tagliafico is in the right place to counter this strike.
Rennes is better
Lyon’s offensive waves are fewer in number. The visitors are having a hard time putting pressure on the Breton Bax block. The latter climbs onto the ground little by little.
Gifted seen in the stands
Sent off a few minutes ago, Doué sat in the stands to watch the match.
Lopez impeccable
Calmly, the Portuguese goalkeeper recovers the ball by jumping higher than everyone. One of his first ball catches of the match in fact.
New fault
Still Rennes. This time it’s Salah who stays on the ground after this elbow game from Diomande in the air. Far free kick to follow.
Lyon foul
Alvero is late in the air on Matic. Logical error. And all of a sudden, the Rennes put pressure on the referee of the day. Nothing.
First Rennes attack
Orchestrated by Enzo Le Fée, this attack was not dangerous. It ends with a very distant shot from Theate which does not find the target. But this attack has the merit of existing.
Bourigeaud right rear?
For the moment it is the captain who covers the hole on the right flank of the defense. But Belocian will come into play.
Alvero shot
Lyon’s offensive waves are repeated. Alvero does not find the target on this long shot. The Rennais are positioned in a low block and shots at the entrance to the area are one of the solutions to open the score.
Always nothing
The ball is once again in the feet of the Lyonnais. However, they failed to prove dangerous on this new set piece.
Corner for nothing
Bourigeaud header and new corner.
New corner for Lyon
And there may be more and more. This one will be played by two people.
Genesio changes nothing
No changes planned. Pep Genesio adjusted the positioning of his team but did not plan to bring in a player to compensate for the exclusion of Doué.
Lyon pushes
As in handball, the Lyon players circle the Rennes surface and wait before finding the opening. It’s completely attack-defense.
Cherki misses his cross
His cross from right to left finds no one. Rennes will be able to breathe.
Foul by Baldé
Blas had won his duel but was illegally pushed by the OL attacker.
DIOMANDE!
IT DIDN’T GO FAR!
Diomande’s header does not find the target on this super cross from Caqueret. Mandanda was completely beaten.
Tolisso strike
And Mandanda’s beautiful parade. The Lyon captain’s shot did not seem to have hit the target. Corner to follow.
The valid VAR
A few seconds were enough for the VAR to validate the decision of the referee of the day.
RED CARD !
RENNES WILL FINISH AT 10!
Not at all controlled gesture from Doué on Tagliafico. The Rennais arrives well late on the OL side. Logical exclusion.
Observation phase
The two teams exchange short passes and take time before building their action.
Kick-off !
Let’s go to Rennes! (0-0)
It was the visitors, in blue, who kicked off this match counting for the 12th day of Ligue 1! Magnificent atmosphere!
Kick-off is imminent!
The players enter the pitch at Roazhon Park, accompanied by the referee of the match, Frenchwoman Stéphanie Frappart.
The salty banners of the Bad Gones against Tony Parker, invited to stay away from OL
While Tony Parker explained last Sunday that John Textor had asked him to return to the OL organization chart and help with the club’s recovery, the Bad Gones displayed several banners for the former basketball player.
The first was installed in front of the Astroballe, the basketball hall of Asvel which he chairs: “Tony Parker: your place is here and nowhere else”.
The second is even clearer: “TP: OL don’t need your help!”
The Rennes eleven, Terrier holder in attack
The Rennes eleven: Mandanda – G. Doué, Wooh, Theate, Truffert – Matic, Bourigeaud (cap.) – Le Fée, Blas, Terrier – Salah
The OL lineup, Lacazette on the bench!
The Lyon eleven: Lopes – Kumbedi, O’Brien, Diomandé, Tagliafico – Skelly, Caqueret, Tolisso (cap.), Cherki – Nuamah, Baldé
OL will play in a 4-4-2 diamond against Rennes. Surprise, Alexandre Lacazette will take his place on the bench. Rayan Cherki is the holder.
The OL group
Rayan Cherki is here, like last weekend.
Match day at Roazhon Park
Hello everyone ! Last in Ligue 1, and still without any success since the start of the season, Fabio Grosso’s OL travels this Sunday to Bruno Genesio’s Rennes, as part of the 12th day. Kick-off at 5:05 p.m. in live commentary from RMC Sport.
