- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Saint-Etienne needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' Yvann Macon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 89' 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 Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi suffering a number of foals already.
