Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Parc des Sports. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The 36-year-old Fabrice N'Sakala has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Kapitbafan Djoco has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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 Vincent Pajot suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' FC Annecy is showing some good football. However, FC Annecy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 33' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Jessy Deminguet departs to be replaced by Alpha Toure.
- 38' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 48' 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.
- 53' 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.
- 58' FC Annecy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
- 59' FC Annecy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ritchy Valme is hanging Francois Lajugie on the field on 59 minute.
- 64' It’s high time Stephane Le Mignan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 68' It is a substitution in FC Annecy team. Anthony Bermont is replaced by Josue Tiendrebeogo on 68 minute.
- 69' FC Annecy ring the changes. Antoine Larose has done his job and it is now time for Karim Cisse to step up.
- 74' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 76' A tactical swap from FC Metz — Joel Asoro on, Morgan Bokele off on 76 minutes.
- 77' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Pape Diallo departs to be replaced by Kevin Van Den Kerkhof.
- 82' Anthony Bermont has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 452 appearances.
- 86' The referee has no hesitation. Quentin Paris is booked for FC Annecy — card on 86.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
