That's full time folks. Lyon edge out a tough game in the end by five points. Stand-out performances from Jerome Porical and the rest of the Lyon back-line saw them defend with great tenacity and attack very clinically. Certainly the hosts best performance of the season thus far. Bayonne lose narrowly for the second week in a row. Chances squandered in this game will haunt them. A lack of accuracy when it counted was their main flaw today. They have wasted a good opportunity to get a much needed win against a struggling Lyon side. All due respects to Lyon who outplayed and outperformed Bayonne this afternoon. A tense and thrilling game that came down to the wire. Thanks for staying with our live coverag throughout! UR
