- 10' AS Saint-Étienne are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' 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 Benjamin Bouchouari suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Yahia Fofana is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Angers SCO.
