- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
