31'
Half an hour gone and although Lyon have had more of the ball, PSG have had the decent chances.
30'
Gomis is having a bad few minutes. The latest error is misreading a through ball, starting his run far too early.
29'
Ibrahimovic gets out the party tricks as his audacious backhell starts an attack down the right. Fizzles out though and Lyon soon have it in midfield.
28'
Gomis is on his own, running at four PSG shirts. He looks up, sees the wall of blue and does the defenders job for them as he inexplicably kicks the ball to the right towards absolutely no one.
27'
Maxwell breaks down the left and forces a corner. Dealt with comfortably by Lyon.
26'
Pushing and shoving ensues in the middle of the park. Given what's at stake you can understand why.
25'
It's pumped towards Ibrahimovic but the striker can't get on it. Looks like he was clambered upon slightly there, but I doubt you would see a penalty for something as soft as that.
24'
Two big chances for PSG. Two big let-offs for Lyon. The away side now enjoying possession.

Menez is slipped in and he's through on goal. Great chance this, but he's shot straight at Lopes from eight yards.

Ibrahimovic shoots but he scuffs it and the ball bounces to Lavezzi who can't get it under control. Now Menez flies in but he can't convert either from inside the area.
21'
A poor throw in from Mouhamadou Dabo hands PSG the ball back in a dangerous area. They break into the box...
20'
It's Ibrahimovic. It's awful, the effort striking the middle of the Lyon wall. Considering he was nearer the halfway line than the goal, it was a very bold attempt.
19'
Fair to say that the Stade de Gerland crowd need a slight boost as it's all gone a little flat. PSG have a free-kick about 35 yards out.
18'
PSG have the chance to get forward down the right flank but Ibrahimovic fails to read a through ball.
17'
First Maxwell prevents a Fofana through ball, and then calmly deals with the danger. The defender's been heavily involved early on and he's doing a good job so far.
16'
Fofana wins a throw in off Maxwell deep down the Lyon right. The home side are just on top at present.
15'
We haven't seen much of Ezequiel Lavezzi and the forward is outnumbered as he tries to break through the Lyon ranks.
14'
Kone takes a throw in and launches it down the touchline. But it doesn't come into play. Got his angles all wrong. Very bizarre incident.
13'
Slight break in play as Jeremy Menez hits the deck. Think he took a stray hand to the body.
12'
Douchez is looking very unconvincing. Now he's called into action to turn over a wayward free-kick to concede a corner.

The ball comes to Benzia, he's miles out but works a yard and flashes in a shot which completely deceives Douchez. The keeper saves with his legs. Just.
