Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Lille OSC to score. At the same time, Montpellier HSC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Lille OSC and Montpellier HSC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' 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 Jonathan Ikone suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' The referee has no hesitation. Florent Mollet is booked for Montpellier HSC — Yellow card on 14.
  • 19' With 0 assists to his name this season, Benjamin Andre is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Montpellier HSC.
  • 21' A stunning finish from Andy Delort — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 26' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Tim Weah has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' A meaty challenge results in booking for Benjamin Andre on 30.
  • 35' Montpellier HSC have won 379 goals from 417 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 43' Zeki Celik is having his name booked by the referee on 43.
  • 48' Jose Fonte is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Lille OSC so far.

  • 58' Montpellier HSC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montpellier HSC that had 417 games and scored 379 goals.
  • 68' Lille OSC make a change. Benjamin Andre trudges off to be replaced by Xeka on 68 minutes.
  • 73' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 77' The Montpellier HSC manager makes a substitution. Gaetan Laborde departs to be replaced by Arnaud Souquet.
