  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Montpellier HSC welcome FC Nantes for this crunch clash at Stade de la Mosson.
  • 5' FC Nantes are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

  • 24' Matthis Abline adds to his 0 season tally! FC Nantes lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 29' 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 Johann Lepenant suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' A stunning finish from Akor Adams — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 35' Montpellier HSC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 39' The whistle greets Joris Chotard as he departs to be replaced by Rabby Nzingoula.
  • 44' With 0 assists to his name this season, Falaye Sacko is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Montpellier HSC.
  • 49' Montpellier HSC have won 379 goals from 417 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 52' A stunning finish from Moses Simon — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 57' A quiet spell here at Stade de la Mosson. FC Nantes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 62' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 63' Another change for Montpellier HSC made on 63 minute. Musa Al Taamari leaves to be changed by Khalil Fayad.
  • 68' The travelling FC Nantes supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 73' 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.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Sorba Thomas as he leaves the pitch. Kelvin Amian Adou steps in for FC Nantes.
  • 79' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Jordan Ferri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 81' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marcus Coco on 81.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Marcus Coco as he leaves the pitch. Louis Leroux steps in for FC Nantes.
  • 84' The FC Nantes bench stirs into life. Moses Simon is withdrawn and Herba Guirassy gets his opportunity.
  • 85' Mostafa Mohamed makes no mistake. The score reads 1-3 and FC Nantes are in front.
  • 85' Poor challenge from Alban Lafont. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Jordan Ferri. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Nicolas Cozza. He replaces Tinotenda Kadewere on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Nantes players.
