  • 0' KICK OFF: AJ Auxerre gets underway.
  • 5' Le Mans FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The travelling Le Mans FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' 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 Hamza Sakhi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AJ Auxerre that had 434 games and scored 388 goals.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' Dejan Sorgic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mathieu Michel made 434 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 50' 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.
  • 53' The referee shows Le Mans FC player a Yellow card on 53.
  • 56' Another substitution for Le Mans FC to replace Franck Julienne by Stephane Diarra on 56 minute.
  • 57' Francois Bellugou is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 62' AJ Auxerre is showing some good football. However, AJ Auxerre are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 67' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Yanis Merdji. He replaces Dejan Sorgic on 70 minute.
  • 71' Alois Confais was booked on 71.

  • 82' What a strike from Yanis Merdji! The score is 2-0.
  • 84' It is a substitution in AJ Auxerre team. Michael Barreto is replaced by Lamine Fomba on 84 minute.
  • 89' It looks surprising Le Mans FC does not make any changes. Vincent Crehin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
