Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade Geoffroy Guichard!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Danley Jean Jacques made 434 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 11' Against the run of play, Georges Mikautadze has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 12' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Koffi Kouao makes it 0-2.
  • 17' 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 Ismael Traore suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' Ablie Jallow is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AS Saint-Étienne tonight.
  • 25' Victor Lobry picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 26' Georges Mikautadze with the second goal in the match!
  • 31' Kevin N'Doram has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 36' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 37' Niels Nkounkou has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 37 minutes.
  • 42' AS Saint-Étienne currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 47' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 48' Niels Nkounkou adds to his 0 season tally! AS Saint-Etienne lead 0-5 — and this changes everything.
  • 53' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 58' AS Saint-Étienne is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' Victor Lobry makes way for Abdoul Kader Bamba at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from AS Saint-Etienne.
  • 66' A change in the FC Metz ranks — Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly exits the field as Habib Maiga enters on 66.
  • 71' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His AS Saint-Étienne side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 74' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Alexandre Oukidja.
  • 79' FC Metz are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 80' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Gautier Larsonneur.
  • 85' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Habib Maiga. He receives a Yellow card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-3.
