- 9' Against the run of play, Giorgi Kvilitaia has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 13' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Yassine Kechta makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 18' Jean-Philippe Gbamin makes way for Nathan Mbala at the 18 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Metz.
- 23' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mory Diaw, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Oceane with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 28' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' FC Metz fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 38' The travelling FC Metz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 46' A tactical swap from FC Metz — Benjamin Stambouli on, Alpha Toure off on 46 minutes.

- 54' Jahyann Pandore doubles the advantage! 3-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
