- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AS Saint-Étienne and SM Caen has kicked off!
- 5' What a strike from Aimen Moueffek! The score is 0-1.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' AS Saint-Étienne started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Étienne that had 427 games and scored 380 goals.
- 25' AS Saint-Étienne 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.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' Bilal Brahimi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

- 44' Ali El Abdi was booked on 44.
- 49' AS Saint-Étienne is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 53' It is a substitution in AS Saint-Etienne team. Mathieu Cafaro is replaced by Nathanael Mbuku on 53 minute.
- 58' 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 Irvin Cardona suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' Another change for SM Caen made on 63 minute. Tidiam Gomis leaves to be changed by Godson Kyeremeh.
- 67' The whistle greets Amine Salama as he departs to be replaced by Bilal Brahimi.

- 79' Florian Tardieu is replacing Aimen Moueffek for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
- 84' It looks surprising SM Caen does not make any changes. Valentin Henry has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 89' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Brahim Traore on 90.
- The final score is 1-0.
