Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Stade Saint-Symphorien as FC Metz face off against Angers SCO in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' Dylan Bronn needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' The travelling Angers SCO supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' FC Metz currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 438 games and scored 364 goals.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sofiane Boufal is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Angers SCO.
- 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 44' Goal! Angelo Fulgini scores his 24 goal in 424 matches.
- 44' That is a Yellow card for FC Metz. Boubacar Kouyate will be fuming at that decision.
- 49' 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 Pierrick Capelle suffering a number of foals already.
- 54' The 30-year-old Fabien Centonze has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 66' Stephane Bahoken is replacing Lois Diony for the Angers SCO side.
- 71' 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.
- 72' Victorien Angban is ready to make an impact after coming on for Vincent Pajot at the 72 minute mark.
- 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Thierry Ambrose on 76.
- 77' Angers SCO ring the changes. Sofiane Boufal has done his job and it is now time for Pierrick Capelle to step up.
- 79' Mathias Pereira Lage catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 79.
- 83' It is a substitution in FC Metz team. Dylan Bronn is replaced by Vagner on 83 minute.
- 88' FC Metz started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 88.
- 89' Angers SCO make a change. Angelo Fulgini trudges off to be replaced by Antonin Bobichon on 89 minutes.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Souleymane Doumbia.
