  • 8' AC Ajaccio is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ben Hamed Toure on 8.
  • 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Valenciennes FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 23' AC Ajaccio seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 28' Anthony Khelifa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 29' It’s a booking for AC Ajaccio player. Clement Vidal gets a card.
  • 31' GOAL! Yassine Haouari scores on 31. Assisted by Ilyes Hamache
  • 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 Taylor Moore suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordan Poha made 367 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 64' Eyram Viegbe is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
  • 69' It looks surprising Valenciennes FC does not make any changes. Julien Masson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
