- 0' We are underway at Stade de la Mosson. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The travelling Nimes Olympique supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jonas Omlin made 172 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nimes Olympique needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' It looks surprising Nimes Olympique does not make any changes. Zinedine Ferhat has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Montpellier HSC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montpellier HSC that had 408 games and scored 335 goals.
- 34' The referee calls foul for Anthony Briancon. He receives a Yellow card.
- 39' Florent Mollet needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 32 Yellow cards this season.
- 43' Montpellier HSC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 43.
- 48' 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 Patrick Burner suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' Nimes Olympique 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.
- 58' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 63' The Nimes Olympique manager makes a substitution. Kevin Denkey departs to be replaced by Nolan Roux.
- 68' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 73' Nimes Olympique is showing some good football. However, Nimes Olympique are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 75' Montpellier HSC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ambroise Oyongo is hanging Mihajlo Ristic on the field on 75 minute.
- 80' 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.
- 82' The whistle greets Arnaud Souquet as he departs to be replaced by Junior Sambia.
- 84' Nimes Olympique is taking the lead after the goal scored by Renaud Ripart on 84.
- 87' Stephy Mavididi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pedro Mendes on 87 minute.
- 89' It’s a booking for Montpellier HSC player. Teji Savanier gets a Yellow card.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
