Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau!
  • 5' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nicolas Pepe.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Thiago Maia is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Lille OSC.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Vahid Halilhodžić will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' It’s high time Christophe Galtier made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Nicolas Pepe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
  • 30' Lucas Evangelista, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' FC Nantes are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Lille OSC backline.
  • 45' Thiago Mendes has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' 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 Loic Remy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' Thiago Mendes is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
  • 54' Valentin Eysseric makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and FC Nantes are in front.
  • 56' GOAL! Kalifa Coulibaly scores on 56. Assisted by Fabio
  • 59' Lille OSC ring the changes. Luiz Araujo has done his job and it is now time for Rafael Leao to step up.
  • 62' A stunning finish from Rafael Leao — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Lille OSC that had 466 games and scored 483 goals.
  • 68' The deadlock is broken! Nicolas Pepe gets on the scoresheet on 68 minutes.
  • 69' Assisted by Nicolas Pepe with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jonathan Bamba makes no mistake. 2-3!
  • 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Valentin Eysseric on 71.
  • 74' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Rafael Leao.
  • 75' A moment of madness from Nicolas Pallois on 75 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Nantes will be frustrated.
  • 79' Lucas Evangelista makes way for Samuel Moutoussamy at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Nantes.
  • 84' FC Nantes make a change. Valentin Eysseric trudges off to be replaced by Anthony Limbombe on 84 minutes.
  • 85' Jonathan Ikone has so much to prove this time. He replaces Loic Remy on 85 minute.
  • 87' The whistle greets Fabio as he departs to be replaced by Gabriel Boschilia.
  • 90' Another change for Lille OSC made on 90 minute. Nicolas Pepe leaves to be changed by Thiago Maia.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Lille OSC to claim maximum points.
