Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stade du Moustoir. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' FC Metz are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alexandre Oukidja, as he is very good at scoring at Stade du Moustoir with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' It’s high time Frederic Antonetti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' Boubacar Traore has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 23' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Boubacar Kouyate.
  • 28' FC Metz have won 360 goals from 434 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 30' A moment of madness from Dylan Bronn on 30 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Metz will be frustrated.
  • 31' A stunning finish from Yoane Wissa — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' FC Lorient are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Metz backline.
  • 46' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Thierry Ambrose is hanging Ibrahima Niane on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' FC Metz 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.
  • 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 Thomas Delaine suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Mamadou Fofana has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 62' Another substitution for FC Metz to replace Vagner by Boubacar Traore on 62 minute.
  • 63' The FC Metz bench stirs into life. Vagner is withdrawn and Boubacar Traore gets his opportunity.
  • 65' A moment of madness from Thierry Ambrose on 65 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Metz will be frustrated.
  • 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Lorient that had 434 games and scored 384 goals.
  • 71' Armand Lauriente gets the nod from FC Lorient. He replaces Enzo Le Fee and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Against the run of play, Boubacar Traore has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 74' Sensational shot from Jerome Hergault. FC Lorient is back in the lead.
  • 75' Goal! Jerome Hergault scores his 3 goal in 402 matches.
  • 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 84' It’s a booking for FC Metz player. Fabien Centonze gets a Yellow card.
  • 85' Controversy at the stadium! Fabien Centonze argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 85' Thomas Monconduit has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yoane Wissa on 85 minute.
  • 86' A change in the FC Lorient ranks — Terem Moffi exits the field as Pierre-Yves Hamel enters on 86.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Adrian Grbic.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Metz.
