  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AC Ajaccio that had 402 games and scored 241 goals.
  • 20' AS Nancy-Lorraine come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 21' The referee shows AS Nancy-Lorraine player a Yellow card on 21.
  • 26' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 27' The referee calls foul for Bevic Moussiti. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 29' Poor challenge from Ismael Diallo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 34' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Olivier Pantaloni will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 38' Time for substitution for AS Nancy-Lorraine. Rayan Philippe is replaced by Dorian Bertrand.
  • 43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 45' AS Nancy-Lorraine ring the changes. Giovanni Haag has done his job and it is now time for Gregoire Lefebvre to step up.
  • 48' What a moment for Bevic Moussiti! That strike on 45 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 53' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 58' Alassane N'Diaye is ready to make an impact after coming on for Riad Nouri at the 58 minute mark.
  • 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Abdelhamid El Kaoutari suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' AC Ajaccio ring the changes. Faiz Mattoir has done his job and it is now time for Gaetan Courtet to step up.
