00:00We are underway at the Allianz Arena. It's fifth against fourth, Nice coach

00:11Franquez facing his old club under pressure after a poor cup defeat in

00:16midweek. It's Nice against Lens.

00:21So there's Edward Still who is the assistant coach to his brother, described

00:28by Will Still as a little bit more analytical and less emotional than he is.

00:34Let's see if that's the case today. Will Still was complaining at the referee

00:39last week in that win at Montpellier and as a result picked up a red card and is

00:45not available today, not allowed to be on the bench. He's in Nice.

00:51Going to Tottenham Manchester City. Oh the ball's been lost. Dantz has picked it up.

00:56Here's a real chance it's come across and it's going to be Guesson. Guesson puts it in

01:02and it's going to count. Disappointment for Hervé Coffey and goal number ten.

01:09It was just taken off the toe of Gladi. Put back into his path by Budaoui

01:15and there was the top scorer doing what he does best. Budaoui did so

01:22well and it fell to Guesson and it's 1-0.

01:29Good work too from Cho and through the legs of Sarr.

01:39Players and coaches would be well advised not to complain too much because

01:43Will Still chose tackle on El Einaoui. Was that a foul? Was that legal?

01:50It is Romain Le Sorgue's decision. It's a big call.

01:56It's all about that challenge from number 25 Cho.

02:04For ourselves we're going to raise our heads and fight for the club. Looking to

02:09do that. They're certainly fighting for the ball there. Budaoui. Budaoui's down.

02:19Yellow card. He's to get the ball into the box very quickly today. It was played

02:26through to Budaoui. That was the foul from Thomasson and that's a penalty.

02:35What a start we've had to this game. One goal disallowed and Gaetan Laborde

02:41wants to put that right. Laborde against Coffey makes no mistake and Nice have

02:48the perfect start after that catastrophic cup defeat in midweek. This

02:53time Laborde has stroked it in and relief for the Nice fans. Another goal

02:58for Laborde. It's his eighth of the season and it's 1-0 for Nice.

03:03Laborde stroking it home. Goal number eight. Gasson again. Beats two. Still

03:12Gasson. Mohamed Ali Cho. Cho. Saved by Coffey.

03:20Have managed to bring in Matthew Ryan former Brighton and Arsenal. Helped

03:28out by El Ainoi. Through to Koyalepu. Is this a chance for Lanzu to equalise?

03:35Great tackle and it's skied by N'Zola. Got in the right position. Koyalepu

03:43causing trouble for the Nice defence. It broke to N'Zola who should have done

03:48better. Completely miscued it was from Bombito. Perfect start. Long way to go

03:57judging by the way the match has gone. Might be one or two more goals in this.

04:02Mohamed Ali Cho. Again the Boudaoui was there. It's come to Jonathan Close and that's a

04:10brilliant save from Hervé Coffey.

04:16That was the effort a few seconds ago. Great save from Coffey. Jonathan Close

04:21couldn't have. Flexible 3-4-3 from OGC Nice. Definitely looking for European

04:30places next season. Another foul on Gasson. He's not happy with the treatment he's

04:35getting. It's gonna be a yellow on Medina. Cho. LeBord ahead of him. Cho. Mohamed Ali

04:43Cho. He's not going to be stopped. Coffey can only half clear it and it's hacked

04:49out by Medina. One way and the other. It's the shot and it just slipped out

04:55of Coffey's hands. It may be because of the very wet turf. One there and they'll

04:59feel their full value for this. Plenty of chances. Can they do another one

05:05here? The header. It's high. Just over. Santa Maria.

05:14It's the end of the first half in Nice and the hosts have a 1-0 lead. And we

05:20don't have time for more in the first 45 minutes. Nice is finding the way to get

05:25to the three points at the moment with this virtual victory. 1-0 against LeBord

05:31thanks to a penalty kick. It's scoring the only goal of the first half. Don't

05:36move. We're coming back with so much more rugby in sports. LeBord has given

05:42Nice the lead. Can they hold on to it or increase it in the second half? Fifth

05:47against fourth. Nice against Lens.

05:51A couple of changes then for the visitors. Zaruri and Agbonifo on. Agbonifo had that

05:59amazing start to his league and career. Within a minute scoring against Montpellier.

06:04It was his second touch of the ball.

06:09Number 25 shirt. Expecting to play down the flanks.

06:15Zaruri also on.

06:18Thomasson is off incidentally. This is a Kalalipu.

06:25It's just wide from Lens that was

06:30swung in.

06:35Sotika's on the left side. Changing positions are Lens players. This is good

06:42Agbonifo. Agbonifo! Pelt by Marcin Borka. His second touch in French League football

06:50last week with a decent shot.

07:00Melvin Bards for the first time driving forward. That's going to be a free kick.

07:06The play goes on. The advantage is given. Gasson. Gasson saved by Coffey.

07:15Roman Lesorgue. Fusion for a second about whether that would be the case.

07:21Cho played it on and Gasson's shot was blocked.

07:26We saw at half time the stats very much in Nice's favour.

07:35All those 50-50s. Cho brilliantly done. Down again. I think Medina might be in trouble here.

07:42He's got one yellow card Medina and that's going to be a second. Medina is off.

07:47Lens are in huge trouble and Nice will play against 10 men. Medina can't complain

07:54too much about that. That was a clear yellow and Mohamed Ali off. Brilliant work though from Cho.

08:00Look at this.

08:04Good time. Yusuf plays a good ball as well. Gasson. Gasson. La Borde. Boudaoui. The lining up is backed out by Machado.

08:14This was the chance a few seconds earlier. Bards swings it in.

08:30Andy Duffe shows that he knows a thing or two as well about dribbling. Brilliant run from Duffe.

08:35Still Duffe. Andy Duffe wants to go all the way. Andy Duffe just wide.

08:41That would have been one of the goals of this run. He must have gone 80 metres going one way and the other.

08:49Head down. Going forward. He must have beaten three defenders but just wide but a brilliant effort from Andy Duffe.

08:58So close. Corners taken quickly. Cho. Is this going to be the second?

09:05Oh what a finish. It's a superb strike. Porquez against his old team. Jonathan Close against his

09:15old team. Not too many celebrations but Jonathan Close will savour that one. It was a brilliant

09:22finish from the French international and it's 2-0 for Nice against his old side in his

09:29sixth game against London. But look at this finish. The angle was against him.

09:35Power into the roof of the net and Coffey had no chance.

09:43Incidentally this season 15 per match. It's too many.

09:49Andy Duffe. Duffe does well. Is this going to be the chance? It is palmed out.

09:55It was Enzola and a good save from Bulka. Nifo did well didn't he? Duffe.

10:03So bringing something from nothing. He won player really to aim for with a lot of

10:08red and black shirts. He nearly made it.

10:11Here come Nice again with Melvin Baird. Baird tries his luck and really got some power behind

10:27that. Instinctive from Melvin Baird but wasn't in the best position for him to strike it. He

10:32really did hit it well and just wide of Coffey's post.

10:39Baird. Diop can turn. Diop's ball is a good one. Is this going to be three? That's a good save.

10:48Coffey saving from Gasson. Substitute Diop finding that nice angle. Gasson's first touch

10:55was good but Coffey hasn't done too much wrong today and that was a good save.

11:02Bulka. This was a bit risky but sums up the afternoon. They're just getting away with

11:13anything that looks dangerous. Udawi getting a real whack there. Yeah Nigerian with the yellow there.

11:25Joined the club just for long. It's a long trip home.

11:29Let's see how many players they have available next week because one or two might be leaving

11:34the club between now and the match against Strasbourg. Jonathan Grady did more. That's

11:41the last touch of the match. Nice have bounced back. And the match is over. Three points for

11:48Nice. They have just defeated Lennon. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for being here with us in this

11:55great match. Nice have just won 2-0 against Lennon.

11:59Thank you for joining us and see you the next time on Beansports.
