Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Le Mans FC and Stade de Reims get this one started.
- 5' Le Mans FC is showing some good football. However, Le Mans FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Le Mans FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mory Gbane makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Le Mans FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 35' It is a cagey affair so far. Le Mans FC in their 3-1-4-2 trying to find a way past Stade de Reims's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 36' Samuel Yohou has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 36 minutes.
- 41' Abdoul Kone has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Samuel Kotto, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Marie-Marvingt with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 55' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sergio Akieme on 55.
- 60' Both keepers have barely been tested. Le Mans FC and Stade de Reims are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 65' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 70' Maxime Busi is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Stade de Reims tonight.
- 75' Sergio Akieme has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 80' France international Ewen Jaouen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 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 Alexandre Lauray suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Le Mans FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
