Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Metz and Pau FC has kicked off!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sadibou Sane made 434 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' FC Metz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 13' That looks like a foul for a card for Jean Ruiz.
  • 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
  • 23' Pau FC is showing some good football. However, Pau FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 28' It looks like no one’s ball. Pau FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 34' That looks like a foul for a card for Kouadio Ange Ahoussou.
  • 39' Ababacar Lo was booked on 39.
  • 44' Pau FC 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.
  • 46' Another substitution for Pau FC to replace Oumar Ngom by Kylian Gasnier on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Pau FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Benjamin Stambouli has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 66' 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 Iyad Mohamed suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' The whistle greets Ibou Sane as he departs to be replaced by Morgan Bokele.
  • 73' The travelling Pau FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 77' It is a substitution in Pau FC team. Kandet Diawara is replaced by Yonis Njoh on 77 minute.
  • 82' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 83' The whistle greets Jessy Deminguet as he departs to be replaced by Kevin Van Den Kerkhof.
  • 88' FC Metz started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 88.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
