- 23' A stunning finish from Mehdi Abeid — that came from absolutely nowhere!

- 38' Renaud Emond has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. AS Saint-Etienne and FC Nantes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

- 69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sergi Palencia.
- 70' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Imran Louza.
- 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Etienne that had 435 games and scored 401 goals.
- 81' The supporters are chanting for Samuel Moutoussamy. He replaces Ludovic Blas on 81 minute.
- 82' Edmilson Indjai is ready to make an impact after coming on for Arnaud Nordin at the 82 minute mark.
