- 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade de la Mosson. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Montpellier HSC and Olympique Lyonnais.
- 5' Anthony Lopes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' Olympique Lyonnais is showing some good football. However, Olympique Lyonnais are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Gaetan Laborde is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Montpellier HSC tonight.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Olympique Lyonnais is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' A quiet spell here at Stade de la Mosson. Montpellier HSC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 40' 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.
- 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
- 55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Pedro Mendes.
- 60' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ruben Aguilar.
- 61' Moussa Dembele is ready to make an impact after coming on for Memphis Depay at the 61 minute mark.
- 66' 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 Nabil Fekir suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Nabil Fekir doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 72' It’s a booking for Olympique Lyonnais player. Nabil Fekir gets a Yellow card.
- 77' With 0 assists to his name this season, Moussa Dembele is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Olympique Lyonnais.
- 79' A change in the Montpellier HSC ranks — Damien Le Tallec exits the field as Junior Sambia enters on 79.
- 81' Ruben Aguilar has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 81 minutes.
- 84' The Montpellier HSC manager makes a substitution. Gaetan Laborde departs to be replaced by Petar Skuletic.
- 87' Olympique Lyonnais manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Terrier is hanging Bertrand Traore on the field on 87 minute.
- 88' Another change for Olympique Lyonnais made on 88 minute. Houssem Aouar leaves to be changed by Pape Cheikh Diop.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Paul Lasne. He replaces Florent Mollet on 90 minute.
