Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stade Francois-Coty. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Racing Club de Lens is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kevin Danso, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Francois-Coty with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' 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 Florian Sotoca suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' AC Ajaccio started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Lois Openda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 30' The travelling Racing Club de Lens supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Oumar Gonzalez on 35.
  • 36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Oumar Gonzalez on 36.
  • 37' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Thomas Mangani.
  • 38' It’s a booking for AC Ajaccio player. Thomas Mangani gets a Yellow card.
  • 42' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Cyrille Bayala.
  • 43' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Cyrille Bayala.
  • 48' 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.
  • 53' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Racing Club de Lens needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 59' AC Ajaccio player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 64' AC Ajaccio is showing some good football. However, AC Ajaccio are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' Another substitution for AC Ajaccio to replace Michael Barreto by Yanis Cimignani on 66 minute.
  • 71' 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.
