  • 37' 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 Ismael Doukoure suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Gaetan Courtet has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 40 minutes.

  • 68' The referee shows Valenciennes FC player a Yellow card on 68.
  • 69' Valenciennes FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Arsene Elogo is hanging Moussa Guel on the field on 69 minute.

  • 73' It’s a booking for Valenciennes FC player. Sessi D'Almeida gets a Red card.
  • 74' The AC Ajaccio bench stirs into life. Ismael Diallo is withdrawn and Matthieu Huard gets his opportunity.
  • 79' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Olivier Pantaloni will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 82' Matthieu Huard has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 82.
  • 83' Faiz Mattoir is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mounaim El Idrissy at the 83 minute mark.
  • 85' Aly Abeid catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 85.
