Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Lorient is hosting Pau FC for another epic battle.
- 5' Pau FC 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.
- 10' It looks surprising FC Lorient does not make any changes. Jordy Gaspar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 11' Goal! Eli Kroupi scores his 25 goal in 431 matches.
- 16' Supporters expect more eagerness from Johann Obiang, as he is very good at scoring at Stade du Moustoir with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 21' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Pau FC that had 213 games and scored 226 goals.
- 26' 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.
- 31' 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.
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 41' Xavier Kouassi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 32 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' 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 Arthur Avon Ebong suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 55' What a strike from Eli Kroupi! The score is 2-0.
- 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Pau FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 62' Another change for FC Lorient made on 62 minute. Mohamed Bamba leaves to be changed by Aiyegun Tosin.
- 67' FC Lorient is showing some good football. However, FC Lorient are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 72' Time for substitution for FC Lorient. Joel Mvuka is replaced by Julien Ponceau.
- 75' GOAL! Julien Laporte scores on 75.
- 80' Goal! Julien Ponceau scores his 10 goal in 431 matches.
- 85' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mamady Bangre made 409 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- The final score is 5-0.
