Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Metz to score. At the same time, AS Nancy-Lorraine does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Malaly Dembele has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Nancy-Lorraine that had 323 games and scored 175 goals.
  • 12' It is a substitution in AS Nancy-Lorraine team. Loris Nery is replaced by Sega Coulibaly on 12 minute.
  • 17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Amine Bassi, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint-Symphorien with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 19' It’s gonna be a Red card for Malaly Dembele.
  • 24' The travelling AS Nancy-Lorraine supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 29' Nicolas Saint-Ruf needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 34' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for John Boye.
  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for John Boye on 35.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' Ibrahima Niane puts FC Metz on the lead.
  • 46' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Nancy-Lorraine needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 51' 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 Stoppila Sunzu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Opa Nguette departs to be replaced by Farid Boulaya.
  • 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alexandre Oukidja made 434 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 61' The AS Nancy-Lorraine manager makes a substitution. Vinni Triboulet departs to be replaced by Christopher Maboulou.
  • 64' Habib Diallo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gauthier Hein on 64 minute.
  • 69' AS Nancy-Lorraine started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
  • 73' Antony Robic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alexis Busin on 73 minute.
  • 74' GOAL! Habib Maiga scores on 74. Assisted by Marvin Gakpa
  • 75' It’s a booking for FC Metz player. Habib Maiga gets a Yellow card.
  • 80' 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.
  • 81' Ibrahima Niane with the second goal in the match!
  • 86' Time for substitution for FC Metz. Ibrahima Niane is replaced by Abdoulie Jallow.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for AS Nancy-Lorraine.
