- 8' GOAL! Adrian Grbic fires home to make it 0-1!
- 13' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Lorient that had 443 games and scored 391 goals.
- 23' 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 Andreaw Gravillon suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' Stephy Mavididi adds to his 1 season tally! Montpellier HSC lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
- 33' Jonas Omlin is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Lorient so far.

- 67' Another substitution for FC Lorient to replace Armand Lauriente by Yoane Wissa on 67 minute.
- 70' Pedro Mendes picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Lorient needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 80' Daniel Congre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 83' Time for substitution for Montpellier HSC. Gaetan Laborde is replaced by Petar Skuletic.
- 87' That is a Yellow card for FC Lorient. Andreaw Gravillon will be fuming at that decision.
