Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Matmut Atlantique. ES Troyes AC are looking to make home advantage count against Pau FC.
- 5' The travelling Pau FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Steeve Beusnard, as he is very good at scoring at Matmut Atlantique with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 13' That is a card for Pau FC. Jean Ruiz will be fuming at that decision.
- 18' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 23' Pau FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 28' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 33' Both keepers have barely been tested. ES Troyes AC and Pau FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 38' 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 Abdoulaye Kante suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' ES Troyes AC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 47' Pau FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 47.

- 54' What composure from Youssouf M'Changama! The Comoros international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 59' Martin Adeline is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for ES Troyes AC so far.

- 67' Brilliant from the forward! Cyriaque Irie makes it 2-0 with a superb finish on 67.
- 69' Khalid Boutaib gets the nod from Pau FC. He replaces Steeve Beusnard and will look to change the dynamic.
- 74' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 77' A change in the Pau FC ranks — Oumar Ngom exits the field as Kylian Gasnier enters on 77.
- 78' ES Troyes AC ring the changes. Martin Adeline has done his job and it is now time for Joseph Boende to step up.
- 83' 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.
- 87' A stunning finish from Pape Ibnou Ba — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 88' A tactical swap from Pau FC — Xavier Kouassi on, Kandet Diawara off on 88 minutes.
