- 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jocelyn Gourvennec might look to freshen things up shortly.

- 40' FC Nantes is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' 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 Mohamed Bamba suffering a number of foals already.

- 64' The supporters are chanting for Darlin Yongwa. He replaces Theo Le Bris on 64 minute.
- 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Douglas Augusto on 67.
- 68' Benie Traore gets the nod from FC Nantes. He replaces Moses Simon and will look to change the dynamic.
- 69' That is a card for FC Nantes. Nicolas Pallois will be fuming at that decision.
