- 0' KICK OFF: FC Lorient gets underway.
- 5' Robin Verhaeghe is replacing Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi for the SM Caen side.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bilal Brahimi, as he is very good at scoring at Stade du Moustoir with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 13' Julien Laporte is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
- 17' GOAL! Mohamed Bamba scores on 17. Assisted by Julien Ponceau
- 22' It’s high time Michel Der Zakarian made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 24' GOAL! Eli Kroupi scores on 24. Assisted by Julien Ponceau
- 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 34' SM Caen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SM Caen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' Yann M'Vila was booked on 43.
- 46' The whistle greets Bilal Brahimi as he departs to be replaced by Ilyes Najim.
- 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 56' It looks surprising FC Lorient does not make any changes. Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 61' Godson Kyeremeh has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' Igor Silva has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gedeon Kalulu on 65 minute.
- 70' 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 Robin Verhaeghe suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' It is a substitution in FC Lorient team. Eli Kroupi is replaced by Aiyegun Tosin on 73 minute.
- 77' The whistle greets Quentin Lecoeuche as he departs to be replaced by Jules Gaudin.
- 78' Goal! Sambou Soumano scores his 26 goal in 215 matches.
- 83' The travelling SM Caen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 86' Another substitution for FC Lorient to replace Joel Mvuka by Stephane Diarra on 86 minute.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for FC Lorient and SM Caen (для сухой ничьи).
