Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Metz kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Chamois Niortais FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' 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.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ablie Jallow, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint Symphorien with 11 goals in the last 10 games.
- 35' Fali Cande has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' It looks surprising Chamois Niortais FC does not make any changes. Ibrahima Niane has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' FC Metz 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.
- 46' Another change for FC Metz made on 46 minute. Ablie Jallow leaves to be changed by Lamine Gueye.
- 51' Youssef Maziz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 15 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' The travelling Chamois Niortais FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 59' Another change for Chamois Niortais FC made on 59 minute. Junior Olaitan leaves to be changed by Amadou Sagna.
- 64' 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 Guy-Marcelin Kilama suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' Another substitution for FC Metz to replace Ibrahima Niane by Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly on 68 minute.
- 73' The referee shows FC Metz player a Yellow card on 73.
- 78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ismael Traore made 411 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
