- 31' The Olympique de Marseille bench stirs into life. Steve Mandanda is withdrawn and Yohann Pele gets his opportunity.
- 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 70' A stunning finish from Nemanja Radonjic — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 75' Dario Benedetto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 76' FC Metz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ibrahima Niane is hanging Habib Diallo on the field on 76 minute.
