- 0' In just a few seconds Stade de la Mosson will turn into a battlefield for Montpellier HSC and Nimes Olympique.
- 5' It’s high time Michel Der Zakarian made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Nimes Olympique is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' 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 Birger Meling suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montpellier HSC that had 417 games and scored 379 goals.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 34' Nimes Olympique player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 39' 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.
- 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Arnaud Souquet.
- 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 53' Montpellier HSC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 53.
- 58' It looks surprising Nimes Olympique does not make any changes. Anthony Briancon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 63' Another change for Nimes Olympique made on 63 minute. Kevin Denkey leaves to be changed by Nolan Roux.
- 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 73' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Montpellier HSC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' Another substitution for Montpellier HSC to replace Mihajlo Ristic by Ambroise Oyongo on 75 minute.
- 80' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
- 82' The Montpellier HSC manager makes a substitution. Arnaud Souquet departs to be replaced by Junior Sambia.
