Events
Match Events

- 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Stephane Le Mignan might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 25' Alexandre Oukidja is replacing Pape Sy for the FC Metz side.
- 30' Pape Sy is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AC Ajaccio tonight.
- 31' GOAL! Gauthier Hein fires home to make it 0-1!
- 36' 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.
- 41' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both AC Ajaccio and FC Metz are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 46' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 56' Christopher Ibayi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Moussa Soumano at the 56 minute mark.
- 57' A tactical swap from AC Ajaccio — Benjamin Santelli on, Julien Anziani off on 57 minutes.
- 62' 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.
