Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade de la Mosson!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Montpellier HSC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 15' The travelling AS Saint-Étienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Etienne Green made 427 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' Teji Savanier needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 9 Red cards this season.
  • 32' A stunning finish from Stephy Mavididi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sepe Elye Wahi on 34.
  • 39' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Saint-Étienne needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' Another change for AS Saint-Etienne made on 46 minute. Yvann Macon leaves to be changed by Bryan Nokoue.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 55' AS Saint-Etienne receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 56' Poor challenge from Denis Bouanga. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 58' Fresh legs for Montpellier HSC! Nicholas Gioacchini comes on to replace Sepe Elye Wahi.
  • 60' A tactical swap from AS Saint-Etienne — Ignacio Ramirez on, Arnaud Nordin off on 60 minutes.
  • 62' What composure from Valere Germain! The France international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 67' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 69' Yvan Neyou Noupa is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
  • 73' It’s a booking for AS Saint-Etienne player. Mickael Nade gets a Yellow card.
  • 77' Adil Aouchiche has so much to prove this time. He replaces Denis Bouanga on 77 minute.
  • 82' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Étienne that had 427 games and scored 380 goals.
  • 89' Mathys Saban catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 89.
  • 90' Montpellier HSC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yanis Guermouche is hanging Stephy Mavididi on the field on 90 minute.
  • AS Saint-Étienne will have plenty to reflect on. Montpellier HSC were simply the better side today.
