Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! FC Metz vs Olympique de Marseille — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Vincent Pajot has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 44 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' Olympique de Marseille seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 19' Vincent Pajot was booked on 19.
  • 24' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Metz and Olympique de Marseille are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 26' Cedric Bakambu makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Olympique de Marseille are in front.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' Boubacar Kamara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 41' 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 Pol Lirola suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Boubacar Traore.
  • 50' Pau Lopez has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 52' GOAL! Habib Maiga fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 57' 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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pape Gueye made 428 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Ibrahima Niane. He replaces Louis Mafouta on 66 minute.
  • 70' A tactical swap from FC Metz — Opa Nguette on, Vincent Pajot off on 70 minutes.
  • 71' The referee shows Olympique de Marseille player a Yellow card on 71.
  • 76' It is a substitution in Olympique de Marseille team. Pape Gueye is replaced by Sead Kolasinac on 76 minute.
  • 80' The Olympique de Marseille manager makes a substitution. Ahmadou Bamba Dieng departs to be replaced by Cengiz Under.
  • 82' Sensational shot from Arkadiusz Milik. Olympique de Marseille is back in the lead.
  • 87' The referee calls foul for Dimitri Payet. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 90' Another change for Olympique de Marseille made on 90 minute. Dimitri Payet leaves to be changed by Leonardo Balerdi.
  • The points are shared — FC Metz 1-2 Olympique de Marseille. Honours even.
