Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: AS Saint-Étienne gets underway.
- 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 Gaetan Charbonnier suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Florian Tardieu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 20' ES Troyes AC have won 360 goals from 445 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 25' ES Troyes AC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His ES Troyes AC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. ES Troyes AC and AS Saint-Étienne are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 50' Luka Ilic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Saint-Étienne so far.
- 54' The referee calls foul for Leo Petrot. He receives a card.
- 59' With 0 assists to his name this season, Anthony Briancon is clearly more than just a goal scorer for ES Troyes AC.
- 60' AS Saint-Etienne ring the changes. Leo Petrot has done his job and it is now time for Gaetan Charbonnier to step up.
- 65' 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.
- 70' Rafiki Said Ahamada gets the nod from ES Troyes AC. He replaces Kyliane Dong and will look to change the dynamic.
- 73' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ismaelben Boura on 73 minutes.
- 76' A change in the ES Troyes AC ranks — Jaures Assoumou exits the field as Alexis Lefebvre enters on 76.
- 77' Another change for AS Saint-Etienne made on 77 minute. Stephane Diarra leaves to be changed by Aimen Moueffek.
- 82' Victor Lobry is replacing Benjamin Bouchouari for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
- 85' A tactical swap from ES Troyes AC — Abdu Conte on, Ismaelben Boura off on 85 minutes.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kyliane Dong made 445 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
