  • 5' FC Annecy come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' 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 Bissenty Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maxime Bastian made 144 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Lamine Gueye has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 434 appearances.

  • 63' The whistle greets Steve Shamal as he departs to be replaced by Alexy Bosetti.
  • 64' Fresh legs for FC Metz! Ablie Jallow comes on to replace Kevin N'Doram.
  • 66' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Clement Billemaz.
  • 69' The referee has no hesitation. Boubacar Kouyate is booked for FC Metz — Yellow card on 69.
  • 74' Alexy Bosetti is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Annecy tonight.
  • 75' Another change for FC Metz made on 75 minute. Ibrahima Niane leaves to be changed by Lenny Joseph.

  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
