50'
I said he was calming everyone down, but he's lost his rag slightly and starts moaning at the referee. Ice cool to red hot in 30 seconds.
49'
PSG have the ball in midfield. Thiago Motta calming everyone down.
48'
PSG playing keep ball by their own corner flag. That's a pretty dangerous game to be playing, especially when the title is so close. They lose the ball...
47'
PSG need to win for the title. Lyon need to win to keep their Champions League qualification hopes firmly on track. Expect an open 45 minutes.
46'
We're off for the second half.
45+2'
Grenier flashes the ball across the box but it's headed clear. Corner to Lyon. Wasted. The referee's whistle sounds. It's 0-0 at the break.
45+1'
A big Ibrahimovic toe poke sends the ball out for a goalkick as we near half-time. Is that it? No, we've still got time for a late Lyon free-kick.
44'
Lavezzi almost slips in Ibrahimovic but a superb last ditch challenge prevents the Swede from receiving the ball.
43'
The ball breaks to Gourcuff twenty yards from goal but the Lyon midfielder can only swing a wild leg at the ball and sees his shot go wide. Motta has picked up a booking.
42'
Menez bursts across the area with the ball but can't find a gap. Eventually he gets in down the left but Lyon get men back and clear.
41'
Gourcuff and Gonalons have a brief spell on the ball in midfield. Going from side to side rather than forward though.
40'
Pastore feeds Menez but the striker can't beat the first man with his cross. PSG had numbers in the box too.
39'
Pastore tiptoes through the Lyon midfield and has the chance to slip in the big man up top. A lack of communication though and Pastore's pass goes behind Ibrahimovic.
38'
What's that? I can hear the crowd. That Dabo strike has got them all excited.
37'
Dabo picks the ball up, jinks left then right before firing in a cracking right foot effort. Narrowly wide.
36'
Ball pumped into the Lyon box but Lopes claims. Lyon break quickly down the left, the ball is sent in towards Gomis... But the striker, at full stretch, can only prod the ball wide.
35'
And, after dealing with that danger, they soon concede another foul. Clement Grenier is going to go into the book for that one.
34'
Another free-kick in a dangerous area for PSG. Lyon's foul count is on the rise.
33'
Javier Pastore gets to the edge of the area but his shot is blocked. Looked like that might be on target.
32'
Few skills from Benzia on the left. The basic summary: stands on the ball, wins a throw. Big fan of that.
31'
Half an hour gone and although Lyon have had more of the ball, PSG have had the decent chances.
