  • 0' And we are off! FC Nantes vs Montpellier HSC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Mostafa Mohamed has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andy Delort on 5 minute.
  • 10' Leo Leroy has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Montpellier HSC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' The referee shows FC Nantes player a Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' Mamadou Sakho is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Montpellier HSC tonight.
  • 30' Montpellier HSC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 38' GOAL! Jordan Ferri scores on 38.
  • 43' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 47' A stunning finish from Arnaud Nordin — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 49' Samuel Moutoussamy was booked on 49.
  • 54' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 56' FC Nantes ring the changes. Nicolas Pallois has done his job and it is now time for Stredair Appuah to step up.
  • 57' Poor challenge from Florent Mollet. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 62' 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.
  • 67' Montpellier HSC have won 398 goals from 429 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 69' Stephy Mavididi gets the nod from Montpellier HSC. He replaces Wahbi Khazri and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Stephy Mavididi. He replaces Wahbi Khazri on 70 minute.

  • 78' Marcus Coco is replacing Ludovic Blas for the FC Nantes side.
  • 79' Moussa Sissoko gets the nod from FC Nantes. He replaces Quentin Merlin and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' 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 Jean-Charles Castelletto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Mamadou Sakho is ready to make an impact after coming on for Boubacar Kouyate at the 86 minute mark.
  • 87' Goal! Falaye Sacko scores his 6 goal in 405 matches.
  • 88' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Falaye Sacko makes it 0-4.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Montpellier HSC players.
