Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Montpellier HSC to score. At the same time, Olympique de Marseille does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Leonardo Balerdi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' 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.
  • 14' Against the run of play, Khalil Fayad has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 19' Teji Savanier has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
  • 24' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michel Der Zakarian might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 29' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Montpellier HSC and Olympique de Marseille are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 34' 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 Vitinha suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 44' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Christopher Jullien.
  • 49' Olympique de Marseille is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 52' GOAL! Jordan Veretout scores on 52. Assisted by Jonathan Clauss
  • 55' The referee has no hesitation. Samuel Gigot is booked for Olympique de Marseille — Yellow card on 55.
  • 60' Montpellier HSC ring the changes. Lucas Mincarelli has done his job and it is now time for Falaye Sacko to step up.
  • 61' Jordan Ferri is replacing Khalil Fayad for the Montpellier HSC side.
  • 66' Benjamin Lecomte has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 429 appearances.
  • 71' 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.
  • 72' The crowd applauds Iliman Ndiaye as he leaves the pitch. Vitinha steps in for Olympique de Marseille.
  • 74' The Montpellier HSC manager makes a substitution. Akor Adams departs to be replaced by Kelvin Yeboah.
  • 79' named a 5-3-2 earlier, and opted for a 5-3-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 84' Olympique de Marseille is showing some good football. However, Olympique de Marseille are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 87' Samuel Gigot makes way for Bamo Meite at the 87 minute mark. A tactical switch from Olympique de Marseille.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Teji Savanier.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
