Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Metz kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Yohann Demoncy needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 27' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Metz is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 32' 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 Cedric Cambon suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' GOAL! Habib Diallo scores on 33. Assisted by Farid Boulaya
  • 38' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Jonathan Rivierez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 47' What a strike from Habib Diallo! The score is 2-1.
  • 50' What an equalizer from Jordan Tell!
