Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. OGC Nice get us underway at Stade du Moustoir.
- 5' OGC Nice started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' named a 3-4-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bonke Innocent made 248 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Lorient must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 40' OGC Nice has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
- 45' 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.
- 50' 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 Hicham Boudaoui suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' Poor challenge from Morgan Sanson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 53' The referee calls foul for Julien Laporte. He receives a Yellow card.

- 69' FC Lorient are deployed in a 3-4-3 today, looking to exploit space against OGC Nice's 4-3-3 shape.
- 71' A change in the FC Lorient ranks — Jean-Victor Makengo exits the field as Sirine Doucoure enters on 71.
- 72' FC Lorient make a change. Ahmadou Bamba Dieng trudges off to be replaced by Eli Kroupi on 72 minutes.
