Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. FC Metz host FC Nantes — let the battle begin!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Metz is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Guinea international Abdoulaye Toure has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 15' It’s high time Frederic Antonetti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 29' Vagner was booked on 29.
- 34' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Metz must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' Aaron Leya Iseka doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 40' FC Metz are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Nantes's shape.
- 45' 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 Charles Traore suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' FC Nantes make a change. Randal Kolo Muani trudges off to be replaced by Moses Simon on 46 minutes.
- 51' It looks surprising FC Nantes does not make any changes. Farid Boulaya has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' With 0 assists to his name this season, Alban Lafont is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Nantes.
- 61' Ludovic Blas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 64' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Thierry Ambrose is hanging Aaron Leya Iseka on the field on 64 minute.
- 66' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Marcus Coco on 66 minutes.
- 71' Abdoul Kader Bamba has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 76' Abdoul Kader Bamba gets the nod from FC Nantes. He replaces Ludovic Blas and will look to change the dynamic.
- 78' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mamadou Fofana is hanging Victorien Angban on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 85' Pape Matar Sarr has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 85.
- 88' Another substitution for FC Nantes to replace Abdoulaye Toure by Renaud Emond on 88 minute.
- 89' That is a Yellow card for FC Metz. Farid Boulaya will be fuming at that decision.
- Full Time. FC Metz beats FC Nantes
