- 5' 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.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jean-Marc Furlan might look to freshen things up shortly.

- 35' AJ Auxerre are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 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 Birama Toure suffering a number of foals already.
