- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AS Saint-Etienne and Montpellier HSC has kicked off!
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Jean-Louis Gasset will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' 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 Youssef Ait Bennasser suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' AS Saint-Etienne looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Maxime Bernauer scoring 1 goals.
- 20' Montpellier HSC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' Mihajlo Ristic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 48 appearances.

- 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 42' Montpellier HSC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 45' That is a Yellow card for Montpellier HSC. Mathias Suarez will be fuming at that decision.
