- 0' And we are off! ES Troyes AC vs AS Saint-Étienne — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gaetan Charbonnier, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de l'Aube with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 25' ES Troyes AC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AS Saint-Étienne backline.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering ES Troyes AC that had 455 games and scored 368 goals.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tanguy Zoukrou made 455 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' The 34-year-old Florian Tardieu has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.

- 65' Lamine Fomba has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 73' Ismaelben Boura was booked on 73.

- 77' Aimen Moueffek has so much to prove this time. He replaces Stephane Diarra on 77 minute.

- 85' ES Troyes AC ring the changes. Ismaelben Boura has done his job and it is now time for Abdu Conte to step up.
- 90' It looks like no one’s ball. ES Troyes AC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 0-1 the final result. ES Troyes AC will be bitterly disappointed.
