Strasbourg vs Lyon (28/04/2023) Ligue 1 FIFA 23

welcome everyone on a perfect night for football with the floodlights beaming down I'm Derek Ray and ready with his tactics board alongside me is Stuart Robson my commentary partner and the focus is on live action from Liga it's Strasbourg up against Olympic Leone thanks Derek as always this should be a good game great atmosphere inside the stadium we've got two teams full of quality some interesting matchups and two coaches that want to play an attractive brand of football what more could you ask for possession and patience the watchwords textbook defending Inside the Box and here's the starting eleven for Leon ton Lopez Lopez in goal maxos kakave plays alongside corontan toliso in central Midfield and get surely and a fine stop [Applause] [Applause] so the corner played into the box [Applause] good work to regain possession well the Defenders will certainly have done the homework Stuart and on that basis must keep more than a weather eye on lacazette will the best players are the ones that can play in tight areas and he can certainly play in tight areas he wriggles out situations he can find that penetrative pass and he's such a good player when he gets the ball out of his feet and gets shots away he could be the outstanding player today keeping it moving dynamically well they were very patient but they no longer have the ball OT [Applause] session changing hands this attack looks highly promising must take the lead here oh but he's missed it how on Earth is this still Level well I just don't know Derek just the real lack of composure in the end they should be ahead now foreign still passing it around with authority [Applause] and a very good challenge [Applause] and the counter looks on here options available Defenders need to cover [Applause] now lacazette timely intervention Habib Diallo he continues his run unable to take advantage of that developing situation a chance then for the respective man [Applause] [Music] well they've got things going again here and I wonder what kind of second half we have in store for us [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Alex lacazette leading the line but is he having any Joy Stuart well he didn't contribute enough in that first half I think he needs to work harder to get on the ball he was far too static in my view he's got to make more runs behind this back oh Stewart an opportunity well not every keeper would have been that brave well he read it brilliantly didn't he top stuff from The Keeper keeping possession of the ball with authority dangerous looking attack [Applause] lacazette he read the situation defensively and did his job and so 30 minutes left for play in this one [Applause] the cross is on just the tackle that was needed could be a chance to break here wonderful bit of skill but no damage done that's the main thing lacazette plenty of support here lacazette and it's a quality pass [Applause] in position [Applause] sound piece of goalkeeping 10 minutes to go then an Olympic Leone Romaine on the attack in the Wailing moments still level players waiting in the center lacazette here not the easiest of situations for the keeper [Applause] but what can they do from here [Applause] hey [Applause] can he put them in front he does and with so little time left that might be the winner wonderful drama [Applause] oh well here it is again and the defending simply isn't good enough they have to react quicker deal with the danger and show more urgency none of which they did and that's the result and there it is the final whistle not what the home fans were hoping for before a ball was kicked today defeat for them yes Derek there was very little in it for much of the game I'm sure they feel they deserve a point at least and it's obviously disappointing to concede in that manner so late on but they just have to bounce back now well there's a sound reason why we're focusing on him he's made his presence felt in attack Stuart well if anyone deserved to be the match winner it was him he played
