  • 0' What a night it is going to be! AS Saint-Étienne welcome OGC Nice for this crunch clash at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
  • 5' It’s high time Claude Puel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 8' What composure from Pierre Lees Melou! The France international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 13' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Étienne that had 438 games and scored 403 goals.

  • 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 57' Lucas Douath has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zaydou Youssouf on 57 minute.
  • 58' Poor challenge from Stanley Nsoki. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 63' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Walter Benitez.
  • 68' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jordan Lotomba.
  • 72' AS Saint-Etienne player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 72' A tactical swap from AS Saint-Etienne — Maxence Rivera on, Kevin Monnet-Paquet off on 72 minutes.
