Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Grenoble Foot 38 get us underway at Stade Saint-Symphorien.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Grenoble Foot 38 that had 433 games and scored 310 goals.
- 9' What composure from Ibrahima Niane! The Senegal international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 14' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 19' Over 19 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' GOAL! Florian Sotoca scores on 20. Assisted by Malek Chergui
- 25' The 36-year-old Francis Dady Ngoye has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' FC Metz are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Grenoble Foot 38 backline.
- 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Metz and Grenoble Foot 38 are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 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 Habib Maiga suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Arsene Elogo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Grenoble Foot 38 so far.
- 55' Renaud Cohade has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 434 appearances.
- 57' Florian Sotoca was booked on 57.
- 58' Controversy at the stadium! Nicolas Belvito argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 62' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ryan Sanusi.
- 67' The whistle greets Farid Boulaya as he departs to be replaced by Habib Diallo.
- 72' Ivan Balliu is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Grenoble Foot 38 tonight.
- 77' Emmanuel Riviere has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ibrahima Niane on 77 minute.
- 78' The crowd applauds Nicolas Belvito as he leaves the pitch. Arsene Elogo steps in for Grenoble Foot 38.
- 83' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 84' Yves Simon Pambou has so much to prove this time. He replaces Romain Grange on 84 minute.
- 89' 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.
- The points are shared — FC Metz 1-1 Grenoble Foot 38. Honours even.
