Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Montpellier HSC to score. At the same time, FC Nantes does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Hilton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 6' Ambroise Oyongo doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 11' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 16' 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.
  • 21' Andrei Girotto is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Nantes tonight.
  • 26' FC Nantes is showing some good football. However, FC Nantes are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 31' Arnaud Souquet catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 31.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keagan Dolly, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de la Mosson with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 44' Charles Traore gets the nod from FC Nantes. He replaces Fabio and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 49' A quiet spell here at Stade de la Mosson. FC Nantes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 51' A goal from the Morocco international Imran Louza! He fires home on 51 to make it 1-1!
  • 54' Montpellier HSC make a change. Florent Mollet trudges off to be replaced by Damien Le Tallec on 54 minutes.
  • 55' Montpellier HSC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 59' That is a Yellow card for Montpellier HSC. Damien Le Tallec will be fuming at that decision.
  • 64' Another substitution for Montpellier HSC to replace Arnaud Souquet by Junior Sambia on 64 minute.
  • 69' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 73' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jordan Ferri.
  • 75' Montpellier HSC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 75.
  • 80' A tactical swap from Montpellier HSC — Keagan Dolly on, Jordan Ferri off on 80 minutes.
  • 82' Abdoul Kader Bamba is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marcus Coco at the 82 minute mark.
  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Randal Kolo Muani made 430 appearances and scored 74 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
