  • 0' And we are off! AS Saint-Étienne vs OGC Nice — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Robert Beric has been relatively quiet despite scoring 34 goals in his last 427 appearances.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Youcef Attal made 442 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Pierre-Yves Polomat makes way for Wesley Fofana at the 20 minute mark. A tactical switch from AS Saint-Etienne.
  • 25' Robert Beric puts AS Saint-Etienne on the lead.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. OGC Nice is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both AS Saint-Étienne and OGC Nice are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 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 Adrien Tameze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jean-Louis Gasset will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 55' AS Saint-Étienne currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 65' Magnificent from Robert Beric! That is 34 goals in 427 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 66' The AS Saint-Etienne bench stirs into life. Yannis Salibur is withdrawn and Valentin Vada gets his opportunity.
  • 71' OGC Nice fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 73' Pierre Lees Melou picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
