Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Francois Coty. AC Ajaccio are looking to make home advantage count against Pau FC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Pau FC that had 215 games and scored 233 goals.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Bingourou Kamara is clearly more than just a goal scorer for AC Ajaccio.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. AC Ajaccio and Pau FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' AC Ajaccio is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Pau FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 40' 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 Mohamed Youssouf suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' It’s high time Olivier Pantaloni made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 66' Fresh legs for Pau FC! Thomas Colleaux comes on to replace Louis Mouton.
- 68' That is a card for Pau FC. Xavier Kouassi will be fuming at that decision.
- 69' Another substitution for AC Ajaccio to replace Yoann Touzghar by Ben Hamed Toure on 69 minute.
- 74' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 75' It’s gonna be a card for Mehdi Chahiri.

- 80' The AC Ajaccio bench stirs into life. Vincent Marchetti is withdrawn and Moussa Soumano gets his opportunity.
- 85' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
