- 0' The wait is over. Chamois Niortais FC get us underway at Stade Rene-Gaillard.
- 5' 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 Samuel Essende suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Quentin Bernard, a France , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 13' Romain Thomas doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 18' 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.
- 23' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohamed Hafid made 399 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' Against the run of play, Guy-Marcelin Kilama has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 37' Over 37 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 42' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 46' The whistle greets Oumar Ngom as he departs to be replaced by Samuel Renel.
- 48' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Quentin Daubin.
- 53' Both keepers have barely been tested. Chamois Niortais FC and SM Caen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 55' The deadlock is broken! Godwin Bentil gets on the scoresheet on 55 minutes.
- 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Chamois Niortais FC and SM Caen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 64' Another substitution for SM Caen to replace Bilal Brahimi by Mohamed Hafid on 64 minute.
- 69' Moussa Sylla is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SM Caen tonight.
- 74' Chamois Niortais FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' Another change for Chamois Niortais FC made on 75 minute. Yanis Merdji leaves to be changed by Amadou Sagna.
- 77' Caleb Zady Sery is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yoann Court at the 77 minute mark.
- 82' Chamois Niortais FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 84' The crowd applauds Junior Olaitan as he leaves the pitch. Tyron Tormin steps in for Chamois Niortais FC.
- 85' Time for substitution for Chamois Niortais FC. Junior Olaitan is replaced by Tyron Tormin.
- 90' The travelling SM Caen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SM Caen players.
