90+3' A FOURTH FOR LYON!!! They have the points!
90+2' Clerc on for Govou as the clock winds down. Stuttgart desperate.
90+1' Into injury time. Keita the latest Lyon player to be shown a yellow card.- 89' Govou booked for a rash challenge as Stuttgart attack and things get messy... there is almost another mass brawl, just contained by the referee...
- 87' Juninho whips another set-piece to the top corner, only to see it saved. If Stuttgart equalise the French club will wonder how they did not score a fourth.
84' Keita put clean through by Juninho... his shot is saved point-blank by Schafer!!!- 82' Substitutions: Farnerud replaces Magnin for Stuttgart while Lyon bring on Belhadj for Benzema.
- 80' The ground opens up for Juninho to strike... his dipping shot is tipped around the post by Schafer! Lyon looking like scoring again...
- 77' Stuttgart sub: Osorio on for Beck.
- 75' Juninho's free-kick is headed for the top corner from 40 yards and Vercoutre tips over!!!
- 75' Grosso booked now for time-wasting...
- 74' Yellow card for Tasci for a bad tackle on Govou.
- 70' Lyon sub: Ben Arfa leaves to acclaim after his wonder goal, while Keita is on.
- 69' Hitzlsperger - the man who Villa fans used to yell SHOOT! at wherever he was on the field - with another go that Vercoutre is down to stop.
- 66' Hitzlsperger with a strike as Stuttgart press... Lyon look dangerous on the counter-attack though.

- 60' Hitzlsperger takes it and smacks it towards the top corner... Vercoutre SAVES!!!!!
- 59' PENALTY FOR STUTTGART!!! As Gomez looked to pull the trigger from 20 yards he kicked thin air and with Santos behind him, the ref pointed to the spot - poor decision. He wasn't even in the box, never mind the lack of contact.
- 56' A ball is played to Magnin in an attacking position on the right and his low cross is finished by Gomez! Stuttgart back in it.
- 56' GOAL FOR STUTTGART!!! 3-2.
- 52' The Brazil international scoops a free-kick into the danger zone and there are players there, but no one can get a touch on it.

- 45+1' The whistle goes for half time. 3-1 to Lyon in an entertaining opening period.
- 45' Only one minute to be added on at the end of the first half.
- 43' Lyon playing very well at the moment under Alain Perrin. You cannot see them losing the game from here - but the break can do wonders for teams, as long as there is a hair dryer in the vicinity of the Bundesliga club's dressing room...
- 37' Ben Arfa took the ball into the box and executed a stunning back heel turn to stun the defenders before clipping into the far top corner. A touch of class.
- 37' A GLORIOUS THIRD FOR LYON!!!
- 34' Lyon the better of the two teams so far. Their triumph the other week in Stuttgart was their first in seven Champions League matches.
- 30' Benzema latches onto a pass from Juninho and shoots from 18 yards... Schafer saves with his legs on the edge of the six-yard box!!! The man of the moment for Les Lyonnais confident.
- 24' Meira from a long way out for Stuttgart again forces Vercoutre to save. Both teams are looking dangerous.
- 21' Cacau's cross causes Vercoutre in the home goal problems and Gomez is there - but this time he cannot finish and Les Gones survive.
- 18' Juninho whips a free-kick at goal from 35 yards out... it is headed for the top corner and Schafer dives to punch clear spectacularly! Lyon on the attack.
