Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. FC Metz kicks off things out of here…
5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nasser Djiga made 340 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
25' It’s high time Laszlo Boloni made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
29' Goal! Georges Mikautadze scores his 69 goal in 434 matches.
30' What a strike from Georges Mikautadze! The score is 2-0.
32' Joseph Lopy is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
37' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Mael Durand de Gevigney has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nimes Olympique that had 340 games and scored 239 goals.
46' It is a substitution in Nimes Olympique team. Malik Tchokounte is replaced by Lys Mousset on 46 minute.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
56' Nimes Olympique is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
59' The supporters are chanting for Nicolas Benezet. He replaces Steve Ambri on 59 minute.
64' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Metz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
67' GOAL! Youssef Maziz scores on 67.
68' It is a substitution in Nimes Olympique team. Kelyan Guessoum is replaced by Ronny Labonne on 68 minute.
69' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Arthur Atta is hanging Youssef Maziz on the field on 69 minute.
74' 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.
79' FC Metz started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
83' The Nimes Olympique manager makes a substitution. Jean N'Guessan departs to be replaced by Jens Thomasen.
87' Lenny Joseph has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly on 87 minute.
88' It is a substitution in FC Metz team. Ismael Traore is replaced by Ababacar Loe on 88 minute.
90' The supporters are chanting for Xhuliano Skuka. He replaces Georges Mikautadze on 90 minute.
90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mael Durand de Gevigney.
Another three points for FC Metz.
