  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' 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.
  • 17' GOAL! Gaetan Laborde scores on 17. Assisted by Evann Guessand
  • 22' GOAL! Joris Chotard scores on 22. Assisted by Jordan Ferri
  • 27' Montpellier HSC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 28' Badredine Bouanani puts OGC Nice on the lead.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 34' The referee shows OGC Nice player a card on 34.
