00:00
Montpellier are all in red today and are very much in the red zone in Ligue 1, bottom of the table
00:14
as we come up to the halfway stage of the season. They're in dire straits, seven points away from
00:21
safety at kickoff. Angers meanwhile are sitting just above the drop zone themselves. This therefore
00:28
is a massive. Left-sided centre-back sending a long ball forward. That one is
00:36
controlled by Alivina. It falls for the shot from Esteban Lupo which
00:40
finds the back of the net. The referee's whistle had already gone.
00:58
Alivina
01:04
back with Abdeli again.
01:08
Cross in from the right. The ball returned into the six-yard box and eventually the wild swipe.
01:19
The ball towards Alivina who gets the break of the ball up against Sila.
01:23
Jim Alivina bounding into the box. The ball again.
01:29
Really well done by Angers who take the lead here in Montpellier.
01:33
In this relegation six-pointer Esteban Lupo on target once again.
01:38
The breakthrough comes on the half hour mark. Montpellier had been pushing forward at the
01:52
other end but in Esteban Lupo, Angers have a striker in form. He was involved initially with
02:00
the ball out to the right-hand side. Alivina got the break from the challenge by Sila. The ball
02:06
came back to him and Lupo continuing his run into the penalty box to finish off the chance.
02:12
It is his fourth goal of the season between league and cup. It was Lupo who got the breakthrough
02:20
goal in the win against Brest last weekend. It was he who got the only goal when Angers won
02:25
in the cup just before the winter break and once again he gets Angers in front today.
02:37
What is Jean-Louis Gasset into that tally today?
02:44
Fahed El-Mellali heading towards the byline. He's got support behind him from Florent Arnaud.
02:52
Abdelli gone beyond the allotted one minute stoppage time.
02:56
Angers just looking to keep hold of the ball for now.
02:59
And there is the halftime whistle and it is met with
03:05
boos ringing out around the Stade de la Monson here because Montpellier who began the day
03:11
three points adrift at the bottom of the league hand table, seven points away from safety
03:16
are trailing at home to relegation rivals Angers. Esteban Lupo who's been in fight
03:21
form in recent weeks with the breakthrough goal half an hour in and if it stays this way
03:27
Montpellier's crisis will deepen still further. Montpellier nil, Angers one at the break.
03:38
Montpellier then getters underway in the second half.
03:42
Ligue 1's bottom club trailing by a goal to nil here against Angers. One of their fellow
03:48
relegation strugglers. Esteban Lupo with the goal half an hour in for the away side. Montpellier
03:56
coach Jean-Louis Gasset making a change at the interval.
04:00
Midfielder Rabih Nzingula off and forward Arnaud Nordin on.
04:09
Moussa El Tamari again foul on him and a free kick given.
04:17
Well he has been lively today but the end product has not been there. Caught by Florent Annal.
04:26
Bioumla was the defender and Emmanuel Bioumla doesn't play the ball.
04:38
Does make contact with the man.
04:45
No suggestion that this is being flagged by the VAR team though. It is going to just be
04:51
the free kick I think which Tidji Savanieh will take.
05:02
Well then no there is going to be a VAR check.
05:05
This is the first break in play we've had since the incident.
05:11
And this would suggest that there is
05:15
a real doubt in the minds of the VAR team. They think that maybe the referee got that one wrong.
05:20
Very hard for the referee to make the call in the moment.
05:38
Really you have to say that Adams is prevented from making any connection with that ball because
05:44
of the touch from Bioumla. Now the goalkeeper is right there.
05:50
And makes the save. But would that situation have been different
05:56
if Emmanuel Bioumla had not been present, had not got the touch on Adams? I'm not going to second
06:04
guess what the referee decides here but there is contact by the defender on the Montpellier player.
06:19
Well it looks like he is going to give a penalty kick to Montpellier.
06:32
Is that the break that they were looking for? Emmanuel Bioumla's
06:36
contact on Adcor Adams has been penalized following the VAR check.
06:41
And Montpellier will have the chance from the spot to get themselves back level.
06:52
VAR check and Tidji Sevaniye taking it. Beats Fofana and it's 1-1.
07:03
And that pouring of relief more than anything else from the Montpellier players and fans.
07:10
The club president Laurent Nicolin sat on the bench alongside the coaching staff.
07:16
Not betraying any signs of emotion.
07:20
And this is a game that Montpellier can ill afford to lose. Really they need to win it.
07:26
They have the equalizer and they'll hope now to build on that moment.
07:33
The break that they got from getting the penalty in the first place.
07:40
Tidji Sevaniye who has had the captain's armband taken away from him.
07:50
Just finished above Lorient.
07:53
Lepaul again. Another goal from Esteban Lepaul and Angers are back in front.
08:00
It's come against the run of play because the home team
08:04
had had the bit between their teeth since getting the equalizer.
08:09
And the home fans are left stunned.
08:15
Only the tiny band of traveling supporters
08:19
celebrating now. A shake of the head from the Montpellier goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte.
08:23
And again the ball fed through from Lepaul.
08:28
Bessie Romiragic was the Montpellier defender who seemed to misread the pass from
08:33
Abdelimal. In fact it took a big touch off the Montpellier player.
08:36
That's why and Lepaul lapped it up. He continues his fine form in front of goal.
08:47
It's the fourth time he scored in three games for Angers between league and cup.
08:56
Before today.
09:02
All the free kicks being given and Kiki Kouyaté.
09:07
Not much more than 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute on his
09:10
comeback from injury has earned himself a second yellow card.
09:15
And Montpellier will finish the game with 10 men.
09:21
Kouyaté clearly blocking Ibrahim Anian.
09:27
Preventing the Angers striker from advancing towards goal.
09:33
And Kouyaté is off. He clearly feels that's harsh.
09:45
And Feri gives away the free kick for catching Zinedine Ferhat and it's a straight red card
09:51
for Jordan Feri. He feels he was just protecting the ball. He turns and complains to the assistant
09:57
referee and this is remarkable. Two red cards a minute apart.
10:16
He maybe did catch the Angers player. Perhaps the Angers player made the most of it but
10:22
it was picked. Kasri's delivery.
10:28
Oh and it's been misjudged. Lecoultre's not going to get there.
10:33
And Angers running through to wrap up the points once and for all. They've done it this time.
10:42
Zinedine Ferhat makes it 3-1.
10:46
Finally they've killed off Montpellier and you sense
10:49
Montpellier may well have been killed off as a top-flight team today.
10:55
Horrible, horrible day at the office for the bottom club in the division.
11:02
Beaten here by their relegation rivals. Angers had chances to make sure of all three points before this.
11:10
The corner cleared and with Benjamin Lecoultre, the goalkeeper, having gone forward to attack the corner.
11:15
There was nobody there to prevent Ferhat tucking it home.
11:23
Third goal for Angers, sealing three points for them.
11:34
Just a calamity for the home team. That was the last action of the game.
11:40
Montpellier finishing with nine men as well.
11:43
They are rooted to the foot of the table and it's Alexandre Dujeux, the Angers coach,
11:47
who celebrates with his players. The final score here is Montpellier 1, Angers 3.
