- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between FC Nantes and SM Caen.
- 5' It’s a booking for FC Nantes player. Kalifa Coulibaly gets a Yellow card.
- 10' The travelling SM Caen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It looks surprising FC Nantes does not make any changes. Ciprian Tatarusanu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 26' Paul Baysse was booked on 26.
- 31' 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.
- 36' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Samuel Moutoussamy made 426 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 37' What a strike from Enzo Crivelli! The score is 0-1.
- 42' It looks like no one’s ball. SM Caen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Abdul Majeed Waris. He replaces Abdoulaye Dabo on 46 minute.
- 51' SM Caen 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.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Nantes that had 426 games and scored 329 goals.
- 57' Another substitution for SM Caen to replace Enzo Crivelli by Stef Peeters on 57 minute.
- 62' Time for substitution for FC Nantes. Samuel Moutoussamy is replaced by Gabriel Boschilia.

- 85' 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 Frederic Guilbert suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Nantes needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
