Match Events

3' GOAL! Teji Savanier scores on 3.
7' That is a Yellow card for FC Lorient. Enzo Le Fee will be fuming at that decision.

17' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
22' What a strike from Sepe Elye Wahi! The score is 0-2.
27' The energy levels are beginning to show. Romain Pitau might look to freshen things up shortly.
28' A moment of madness from Leo Leroy on 28 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Montpellier HSC will be frustrated.
29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leo Leroy on 29.
34' Montpellier HSC 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.
37' Another substitution for FC Lorient to replace Ibrahima Kone by Julien Ponceau on 37 minute.

50' It’s a booking for FC Lorient player. Gedeon Kalulu gets a Yellow card.

58' Poor challenge from Jonas Omlin. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
59' The referee has no hesitation. Bonke Innocent is booked for FC Lorient — Yellow card on 59.
64' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
65' The whistle greets Leo Leroy as he departs to be replaced by Joris Chotard.
66' Fresh legs for FC Lorient! Yoann Cathline comes on to replace Enzo Le Fee.
71' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 71 minutes.
72' Fresh legs for Montpellier HSC! Valere Germain comes on to replace Sepe Elye Wahi.
77' FC Lorient have won 386 goals from 437 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
81' The whistle greets Laurent Abergel as he departs to be replaced by Adil Aouchiche.
86' FC Lorient are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montpellier HSC backline.
87' Another substitution for Montpellier HSC to replace Stephy Mavididi by Arnaud Souquet on 87 minute.
