  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Le Mans FC 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.

  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.

  • 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Le Mans FC and Pau FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Esteban Salles, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Marie-Marvingt with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 58' That is a card for Pau FC. Rayan Touzghar will be fuming at that decision.

  • 78' The deadlock is broken! Lucas Bretelle gets on the scoresheet on 78 minutes.
  • 79' Anthony Ribelin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lucas Calodat on 79 minute.
  • 82' Pau FC ring the changes. Kyliane Dong has done his job and it is now time for Kylian Gasnier to step up.
