  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • Olympique Lyon
    • Fiorentina
    • - ALL OVER! Lyon survive that very late scare and take the three points!
    • 90+3' The keeper comes a long way and doesn't really get there. Another Fiorentina corner comes in and the ball flies around the penalty box, but in the end the shot is blocked.
    • 90+2' Corner for Fiorentina. Last chance?
    • 90+1' Toulalan called into defensive action there to overhead kick the danger away as Fiorentina go an a rare attack.
    • 90' Into time added on now and there will be three extra minutes.
    • 89' Ederson tries to go all the way there and is finally stopped by that man Frey with the help of a defender. Still all Lyon here.
    • 87' Another save from Frey! This time Kallstrom and Govou link up and the midfielder has the shot which is saved well by Frey!
    • 84' Frey in the action again! Almost an own goal from Gamberini, but the ball hits Frey in the face and goes clear!
    • 82' In the middle of all that goalscorer Panjic goes off to be replaced by Ederson.
    • 82' DOUBLE SAVE!! Frey keeping Fiorentina in it now! First he saves from a header and then from a shot - both from close range! The header looked like it might have crossed the line, but nothing given! All Lyon now!
    • 81' CHANCE!! Almost two for Lyon as a left wing cross comes in it's Makoun who gets the touch, but it goes narrowly wide!
    • 80' Lyon counter and it needed a last gasp intervention by defender to take that off the Lyon striker's foot there.
    • 79' It's played into the box and for once Lloris opts to catch and does so well.
    • 78' Fiorentina forced to come forward now after that goal and they have a free kick in a good position..
    • 76' GOAL!! And it's Pjanic with it!! It comes from a link up between Govou and Kallstrom and the latter's cross is beaten out by Frey to Panjic who fires it in from close range!
    • 75' Makoun gets his head to a left wing cross, but his flicked effort goes comfortably wide of Frey's left hand post.
    • 74' Delgado goes down the right and earns a corner that he takes himself, but the sub doesn't find a great delivery that time and it's cleared.
    • 73' Another change is taking place and it's Marchionni who is going off and Santana on for Fiorentina.
    • 70' Delgado is on now for Gomis for Lyon.
    • 69' CHANCE MISSED! Govou all on his own down the right puts the ball in towards Lisandro again, but at point blank range Comotto does enough to put him off and the keeper saves.
    • 67' CLAIMS FOR A PENALTY! The ball through towards Lisandro was allowed to bounce by Gamberini and he collided with Lisandro by the penalty spot. Nothing given though.
    • 66' Lisandro fouls Comotto and shows his frustration by holding his head in his hands.
    • 65' Govou tries his best down the right again, but Lyon are struggling to break down the defensive approach of the visitors.
    • 63' Juan Manuel Vargas produces a contender for worst shot of the season as his effort hits sub Jovetic on it's way out for a throw!
    • 61' Donadel is walking the tightrope here as he goes in late on Toulalan. The ref lets him off though this time.
    • 59' The visitors are undersandably somewhat limited in their attacking intent now and other than the odd run from Marchionni they're happy to defend.
    • 57' Fiorentina are making a change and Mutu departs to be replaced by Jovetic.
    • 55' Cissokho and Kallstrom link up down the left and the latter's cross is claimed by Frey at his near post.
    • 54' ANOTHER YELLOW! This time it's Toulalan who enters the book for a foul on Marchionni. This is turning into a rather scrappy, niggly affair.
    • 53' The free kick comes in and it's flicked on dangerously and Frey has to dive to stop that one.
    • 52' Kallstrom is fouled AGAIN. This time he has his heels clipped by Marchionni.
    • 50' Shot comes in from Lisandro and it just flies wide of the post! Best effort of the match so far!
    • 49' This ref loves a card and the next into the book is Gamberini for a foul.
    • 48' Vargas gets a kick in the face from Reveillere, but from the free kick the ball is cleared.
    • 48' Lisandro rather theatrically goes down in the area, but all he gets is a corner that Fiorentina get clear.
    • 47' Govou on the attack for Lyon down the right, but his attempt at a chipped pass is cut out.
    • 46' Back underway in Lyon for the second half after that late controversy in the first half. Looking at the replay, there wasn't much wrong with the challenge in my view.
    • - The whistle has gone at the end of the first half and after a frankly dull first 43 minutes, we had a goal disallowed and a controversial sending off in the space of a minute! Back soon..
    • 45' Late drama here as the ref sees red and it's for Gilardino!! He's off for an alleged elbow on a Lyon defender and his match is over!!
    • 44' Finally the ball is in the net, but the ref had blown for an infringement and Lyon's 'goal' won't count. It was a cross from the left by Cissokho that hit the bar and came out before the whistle blew.
    • 42' Corner for Fiorentina, but it's a very poor one and goes straight into the arms of Lloris.
    • 41' Kallstrom is off the pitch after being fouled, but trots back on as Cris heads a Lyon free kick into the arms of Frey.
    • 40' Another yellow is brandished by the ref! This time it's for Donadel I think for a foul on Lisandro.
    • 38' Govou penalised for handball and Fiorentina have a free kick midway inside the Lyon half on the left. Meanwhile Pjanic is booked for a late challenge on Donadel.
    • 37' Govou earns Lyon a corner on the right and that is cleared, as is the next ball in from Cissokho. Good defending there from Fiorentina.
    • 35' Cris and Gamberini go for the kick and the last touch comes off the Italian and that will be a goal kick.
    • 34' Comotto goes down and that will be a yellow card for Lisandro Lopez for the foul. Good position for the free kick for the visitors.
    • 32' Gomis is fouled in the centre circle and Lyon play it wide. When it finally arrives in the box Frey catches under no pressure.
    • 30' Marchionni gets down the right and when his cross is cleared it comes out and finally the shot is deflected wide.
    • 29' Kallstrom takes and there were some very high feet there in the penalty area, but the ball is cleared.
    • 29' Govou makes his first contribution down the right as Lyon attack again and they have a free kick.
    • 27' Kallstrom and Donadel collide and the Lyon man comes off worse - he's on the ground at the moment.
    • 26' Kallstrom takes, but it's cleared at the near post and the Italian team come away with the ball.
    • 25' Cissokho again getting forward for Lyon and it's a corner to them, as Bastos limps off to be replaced by Govou.
    • 24' Nice work from Montolivo there as he plays in Gilardino with a flick and the striker is just beaten to it.
    • 23' The corner is cleared, but Lloris is looking very suspect at the moment, particularly with backpasses.
    • 22' Nightmare for Lloris there as he slices the backpass out for a Fiorentina corner!
    • 21' Bastos fouled, but the free kick from Pjanic is really poor and just about reaches the first defender in the Fiorentina box.
    • 20' Very patient build up there from Lyon, who must have put together 20 passes before the cross failed to make it into the Fiorentina box!
    • 18' The keeper comes, but just gets one hand on it and the ball deflects off Dainelli and bounces clear.
    • 17' The teams just cancelling each other out at the moment in midfield. It's all very tight out there just now. Gobbi gets forward down the left and it's a corner for the visitors.
    • 15' Most of the early action coming from down the Lyon left with Cissokho and Marchionni having a good battle so far.
    • 13' Great cross from Cissokho is cleared, but Pjanic appears to have been fouled on the edge of the area. Nothing given by the ref though.
    • 12' Nice play there from Marchionni, who plays in Mutu, who goes into the box and has a shot, but it's from a tight angle and goes wide.
    • 10' The ball is delivered into the box and cleared easily by the Lyon defence.
    • 10' Marchionni advances down the right and Fiorentina have a corner - their first of the match.
    • 9' Lopez is fouled by Comotto and from the free kick Bastos has a shot, which goes wide of Frey's goal.
    • 7' Nice build up down the right from Lyon with Reveillere and he takes a free kick which goes into the Fiorentina box and out for a corner, which is cleared.
    • 5' First shot of the game comes in left footed from Kallstrom from outside the box and it goes wide.
    • 3' Lyon yet to really get out of their own half. Slightly edgy start from them, but no chances so far.
    • 2' Marchionni strides forward purposefully, but wasn't on the same wavelength as his strikers and the ball goes into touch.
    • 1' We're underway and it's the visitors that kick off and the ball goes through to Lloris in the Lyon goal for an early touch.
    • - The teams are leaving the tunnel now and we'll be underway at the Stade Gerland in a few moments time.
    • - The only other time these sides have met in the Champions League was the other group stage match at Fiorentina last year, which ended in a 2-1 win for Lyon.
    • - These two sides met at almost exactly the same time last year, also at the Gerland Stadium and the result was a 2-2 draw.
    • - Tonight's ref is Pieter Vink (Holland)
    • - And the Fiorentina side tonight is as follows: - Lloris, Cris, Kallstrom, Michel Bastos, Pjanic, Lopez, Reveillere, Makoun, Gomis, Cissokho, Toulalan. Subs: Vercoutre, Clerc, Ederson, Govou, Delgado, Seguin, Gonalons.
    • - Official team news is in and the Lyon side tonight looks like this: - Lloris, Cris, Kallstrom, Michel Bastos, Pjanic, Lopez, Reveillere, Makoun, Gomis, Cissokho, Toulalan. Subs: Vercoutre, Clerc, Ederson, Govou, Delgado, Seguin, Gonalons.
