Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and FC Lorient launch into their encounter with FC Nantes.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Lorient and FC Nantes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 13' Ignatius Ganago adds to his 0 season tally! FC Nantes lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 18' 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.
  • 19' The Dango Faissal Ouattara breaks the deadlock on 19 minutes. 1-1!
  • 24' FC Lorient currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 29' FC Lorient are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 34' 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 Ludovic Blas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Vincent Le Goff is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Nantes tonight.
  • 40' FC Nantes receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 40.

  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' FC Lorient started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.

  • 62' Fresh legs for FC Nantes! Ludovic Blas comes on to replace Dennis Appiah.
  • 67' FC Lorient are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 72' It looks surprising FC Nantes does not make any changes. Moses Simon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 73' The crowd applauds Laurent Abergel as he leaves the pitch. Adil Aouchiche steps in for FC Lorient.
  • 74' Against the run of play, Ibrahima Kone has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 75' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ibrahima Kone makes no mistake. 4-1!

  • 78' FC Lorient player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
