REPORT: LYON 1-0 SAINT-ETIENNE
End of 2nd Half
FULL-TIME!
LYON ARE VICTORIOUS!
Lyon leapfrog Nantes into tenth in Ligue 1 after producing a hard-fought 1-0 win over Saint-Etienne in Le Derby. Moussa Dembele’s first-half penalty proved the difference in a match that was bereft of quality.

GOOD DEFENDING!
Lukeba tries to turn and shoot inside the St Etienne box after a dangerous corner is floated in by Cherki, but Nade makes a fine last-minute intervention to block it and clear away.

SHAQIRI SHOOTS
But his effort is blocked and he handled the ball as he attempted to control it, resulting in a St Etienne free-kick.
83'
ST ETIENNE FREE-KICK
It comes to nothing as Sako's free-kick is met by Krasso, but he heads harmlessly over the bar.

HUGE MISS!
Lyon counter-attack and it's three on two. Aouar lays the ball off to Paqueta who fires his first-time effort off his left boot over the bar! That was a glorious chance squandered by the Brazilian!

ANOTHER SAVE BY BERNARDONI!
Kadawere breaks free of the St Etienne backline again, but his low strike is well saved again by Bernardoni. The visitors' on-loan goalkeeper has certainly been kept busy!
71'
SAKO FIRES OVER
Sako has a powerful shot from the outside the box but he fires his wild strike well over the bar.
69'
LYON PRESSING
Lyon look the more likely to score another but neither side are really taking the initiative at the moment. Caqueret is caught by Youssouf.
65'
OFFSIDE!
Kadewere gets in behind the St Etienne defence and pokes a shot on goal. It's acrobatically saved by Bernardoni but it would not have counted anyway as the Zimbabwean forward was offside.

DA SILVA BOOKED
YELLOW! Lyon get their first yellow of the evening and it goes to Da Silva after he bundles over Nade. St Etienne are starting to push forward in greater numbers now in search of an equaliser.

BERNARDONI DENIES AOUAR!
A long ball over the top is met by Aouar but his low driven strike inside the box looking for the bottom corner is saved by Bernardoni's feet at the near post!

CHERKI WARMING UP
It's been a scrappy opening to the start of the second half with neither side able to get into any real kind of rhythm. Lyon's highly rated midfielder Cherki is warming up on the touchline. This game needs a creative spark.
49'
YELLOW CARD!
Macon is booked for shoving away Henrique who goes down theatrically to say the least.
