Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: En Avant Guingamp gets underway.
- 2' Magnificent from Vincent Manceau! That is 3 goals in 427 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 7' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 8' Jeremy Livolant makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and En Avant Guingamp are in front.
- 10' What composure from Ablie Jallow! The Gambia international strokes it home. 2-1.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering En Avant Guingamp that had 423 games and scored 353 goals.
- 16' GOAL! Ablie Jallow fires home to make it 3-1!
- 21' FC Metz has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Maxime Barthelme, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint Symphorien with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 31' Boubacar Kouyate has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 31.
- 34' It is a substitution in FC Metz team. Youssef Maziz is replaced by Ismael Traore on 34 minute.
- 39' 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 Warren Tchimbembe suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Lenny Joseph has been relatively quiet despite scoring 12 goals in his last 441 appearances.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alexandre Oukidja on 45.
- 45' A tactical swap from FC Metz — Ousmane Ba on, Alexandre Oukidja off on 45 minutes.
- 46' What composure from Stephen Quemper! The France international strokes it home. 3-2.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Baptiste Guillaume. He replaces Vincent Manceau on 46 minute.
- 50' What composure from Gaetan Courtet! The France international strokes it home. 3-3.
- 51' A meaty challenge results in booking for Baptiste Roux on 51.
- 52' Goal! Gaetan Courtet scores his 50 goal in 439 matches.
- 56' That is a Red card for FC Metz. Danley Jean Jacques will be fuming at that decision.
- 60' Matthieu Udol has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 60.
- 65' It looks surprising En Avant Guingamp does not make any changes. Anthony Musaba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 69' Dylan Louiserre has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 69 minutes.
- 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
- 77' Another change for FC Metz made on 77 minute. Habib Maiga leaves to be changed by Kevin N'Doram.
- 78' A tactical swap from FC Metz — Anthony Musaba on, Lamine Gueye off on 78 minutes.
- 79' Lenny Joseph is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ablie Jallow at the 79 minute mark.
- 83' The crowd applauds Maxime Barthelme as he leaves the pitch. Warren Tchimbembe steps in for En Avant Guingamp.
- 85' The deadlock is broken! Warren Tchimbembe gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
- 88' What a strike from Jeremy Livolant! The score is 3-7.
- 90' Another change for En Avant Guingamp made on 90 minute. Baptiste Roux leaves to be changed by Mathis Riou.
