- 8' Mounir Chouiar has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Racing Club de Lens needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 18' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 23' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His ES Troyes AC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 26' ES Troyes AC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 26.
- 31' Fabien Centonze has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 446 appearances.
- 35' The referee shows ES Troyes AC player a Yellow card on 35.
- 40' Jean-Louis Leca has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 40.

- 44' Bryan Pele makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and ES Troyes AC are in front.
- 46' Racing Club de Lens manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cheick Oumar Doucoure is hanging Arthur Gomis on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' ES Troyes AC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Racing Club de Lens backline.
- 56' 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 Jean-Louis Leca suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 66' 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.

- 71' Thierry Ambrose picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 74' Time for substitution for ES Troyes AC. Bryan Pele is replaced by Jeremy Cordoval.
- 79' ES Troyes AC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 84' Racing Club de Lens are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 87' Simon Banza is ready to make an impact after coming on for Thierry Ambrose at the 87 minute mark.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for ES Troyes AC.
