Lyon welcome Benfica to the Stade de Gerland in Champions League Group B on Matchday 3.

The final whistle is blown. Lyon 2-0 Benfica. An assured performance from the French side.

Benfica mustering one final attack.

Three minutes of injury time to be played at Stade de Gerland.

Free kick in a dangerous position for Lyon but Benfica rally in defence and have the ball away in a flash.

Lyon passes are being met with 'Oles'. The Stade de Gerland faithful think this one is over.

Benfica on the other hand have thrown off the defensive shackles and are mounting a late charge. Surely they have it too late.

Lyon finally look to have eased off the gas. The withdrawal of Bastos and Gourcuff will do that to any side.

Lisandro leaves the field to a rapturous reception from the home crowd and Bafetimbi Gomis has ten minutes to make his mark on the game.

Uncomfortbale moment for Lloris who has been a spectator all night but Benfica are unable to capitalise.

Good invention from Coentrao who has carried all of Benfica's threat this half but his one man fight proves fruitless.

Final sustitution for Benfica. Carlos Martins is replced by Eduardo Salvio.

Fierce tussle between Lisandro and Coentrao sees a free kick go the Benfica man's way.

Lyon follow suit and make a substitution of their own. The impressive Gourcuff is taken out of the firing line and Kim Kallstrom is introduced.

Substitution for Benfica. Aimar leaves the field and Franco Jara takes his place.

A promising Lyon attack comes to nothing as Cissokho hesitates delivering the cross.

First contribution from Pied who is hugging the right touchline. The substitute looks for Briand in the penalty area but his cross lacks accuracy.

The free kick tricks everybody allowing Roberto to sweep up unopposed.

The referee is forced to reach for his top pocket once more as Javi Garcia is penalised for hauling down Gourcuff.

Coentrao takes matters into his own hands with a rampaging run from left back and wins his side a corner kick.

An impressive hour of football from Bastos who has earned the rest after only recently returning from injury.
