Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Metz and Grenoble Foot 38 has kicked off!
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Metz and Grenoble Foot 38 are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' FC Metz are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' The 26-year-old Mamadou Diop has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 17' Alan Kerouedan was booked on 17.
  • 22' FC Metz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 27' Grenoble Foot 38 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 32' Nolan Mbemba is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Grenoble Foot 38 tonight.
  • 37' With 0 assists to his name this season, Matthieu Udol is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Metz.
  • 42' What a moment for Pape Diallo! That strike on 42 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 47' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
  • 52' Alan Kerouedan, a France , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 56' Cheikh Sabaly doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 61' 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.
  • 62' The referee calls foul for Idrissa Gueye. He receives a card.
  • 63' Junior Olaitan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alan Kerouedan at the 63 minute mark.
  • 68' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 73' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 78' Mamady Bangre has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ayoub Jabbari on 78 minute.
  • 83' 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 Idrissa Gueye suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Ibou Sane is replacing Cheikh Sabaly for the FC Metz side.
  • 89' Grenoble Foot 38 ring the changes. Jessy Benet has done his job and it is now time for Nolan Mbemba to step up.
  • 90' FC Metz ring the changes. Gauthier Hein has done his job and it is now time for Ablie Jallow to step up.
  • The final score is 3-0.
