Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stade Saint Symphorien. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gaetan Paquiez made 340 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 17' The referee calls foul for Alan Kerouedan. He receives a card.
  • 22' 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 Mamadou Diop suffering a number of foals already.
  • 27' Saikou Touray needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jessy Deminguet, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint Symphorien with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 42' GOAL! Pape Diallo scores on 42. Assisted by Jessy Deminguet
  • 47' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
  • 56' GOAL! Cheikh Sabaly scores on 56. Assisted by Koffi Franck Kouao
  • 61' It looks surprising Grenoble Foot 38 does not make any changes. Jessy Benet has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 62' FC Metz receives a card for a hard tackle on 62.
  • 63' Another substitution for Grenoble Foot 38 to replace Alan Kerouedan by Junior Olaitan on 63 minute.
  • 68' Grenoble Foot 38 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 68.
  • 73' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' It is a substitution in Grenoble Foot 38 team. Ayoub Jabbari is replaced by Mamady Bangre on 78 minute.
  • 83' FC Metz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 86' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ibou Sane is hanging Cheikh Sabaly on the field on 86 minute.
  • 89' The Grenoble Foot 38 manager makes a substitution. Jessy Benet departs to be replaced by Nolan Mbemba.
  • 90' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Gauthier Hein departs to be replaced by Ablie Jallow.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Metz players.
