Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Metz and USL Dunkerque has kicked off!
  • 5' Maxence Rivera needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' 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 Naatan Skytta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Alec Georgen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' FC Metz 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.
  • 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ugo Raghouber on 21.
  • 26' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering USL Dunkerque that had 178 games and scored 159 goals.
  • 36' USL Dunkerque is showing some good football. However, USL Dunkerque are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' Gaetan Courtet has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gessime Yassine on 46 minute.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' It’s gonna be a card for Koffi Franck Kouao.
  • 66' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 87' The FC Metz manager makes a substitution. Maxence Rivera departs to be replaced by Kevin Van Den Kerkhof.
  • 88' USL Dunkerque player sees a card in front of him.
