Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between AC Ajaccio and FC Metz is underway.
- 5' FC Metz is showing some good football. However, FC Metz are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Metz is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Metz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' AC Ajaccio started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' The supporters are chanting for Alexandre Oukidja. He replaces Pape Sy on 25 minute.
- 30' The travelling FC Metz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 31' What a strike from Gauthier Hein! The score is 0-1.
- 36' 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 Jessy Deminguet suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
- 46' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 51' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 56' AC Ajaccio manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Christopher Ibayi is hanging Moussa Soumano on the field on 56 minute.
- 57' Another change for AC Ajaccio made on 57 minute. Julien Anziani leaves to be changed by Benjamin Santelli.
- 62' It’s high time Stephane Le Mignan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 67' Alpha Toure has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 72' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Benjamin Stambouli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 73' Another substitution for AC Ajaccio to replace Tim Jabol-Folcarelli by Mehdi Puch-Herrantz on 73 minute.
- 78' 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.
- 80' Anthony Strata is replacing Ben Hamed Toure for the AC Ajaccio side.
- 81' Thomas Mangani is replacing Everson Pereira for the AC Ajaccio side.
- 83' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Cheikh Sabaly departs to be replaced by Joel Asoro.
- 88' AC Ajaccio is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Christopher Ibayi on 89.
- With this win, FC Metz is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
