Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Stade de Reims kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Metz and Stade de Reims are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 7' What composure from Axel Disasi! The France international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 12' Yunis Abdelhamid needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 13' It’s a booking for FC Metz player. John Boye gets a Yellow card.
  • 15' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Kevin N'Doram departs to be replaced by Stoppila Sunzu.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Metz side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kevin N'Doram is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Stade de Reims.
  • 30' 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 Hassane Kamara suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Stade Saint-Symphorien. Stade de Reims seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 40' Stade de Reims 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.

  • 47' Adama Traore does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Metz surge ahead!
  • 52' Boulaye Dia has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 69' Tasos Donis is ready to make an impact after coming on for Boulaye Dia at the 69 minute mark.
  • 73' Dereck Kutesa is replacing Moussa Doumbia for the Stade de Reims side.
  • 76' A change in the FC Metz ranks — Habib Maiga exits the field as Farid Boulaya enters on 76.
  • 80' Thierry Ambrose is replacing Opa Nguette for the FC Metz side.
  • 82' The whistle greets Remi Oudin as he departs to be replaced by Timothee Nkada.
