Match Events

0' KICK OFF: FC Metz gets underway.
5' Charles Kabore has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
10' Chamois Niortais FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' It’s high time Laszlo Boloni made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
20' Chamois Niortais FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
25' Chamois Niortais FC is showing some good football. However, Chamois Niortais FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
30' Chamois Niortais FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
35' Kevin N'Doram is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Metz tonight.
40' 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.
45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
46' Time for substitution for FC Metz. Ablie Jallow is replaced by Lamine Gueye.
51' 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.
56' With 0 assists to his name this season, Junior Olaitan is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Metz.
59' The Chamois Niortais FC bench stirs into life. Junior Olaitan is withdrawn and Amadou Sagna gets his opportunity.
64' Ablie Jallow has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
68' A change in the FC Metz ranks — Ibrahima Niane exits the field as Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly enters on 68.
73' The referee calls foul for Danley Jean Jacques. He receives a Yellow card.
78' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Metz and Chamois Niortais FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
82' Bradley M'Bondo is ready to make an impact after coming on for Guy-Marcelin Kilama at the 82 minute mark.
83' Joris Moutachy gets the nod from Chamois Niortais FC. He replaces Samuel Renel and will look to change the dynamic.
88' Lenny Joseph is replacing Georges Mikautadze for the FC Metz side.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mootaz Zemzemi.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
