- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Montpellier HSC launch into their encounter with RC Strasbourg Alsace.
- 5' 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 Abdul Majeed Waris suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. RC Strasbourg Alsace is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Matz Sels is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Montpellier HSC tonight.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Damien Le Tallec, a France , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' RC Strasbourg Alsace 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.
- 45' Florent Mollet is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for RC Strasbourg Alsace so far.
- 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thierry Laurey will be considering his options from the bench.
- 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Montpellier HSC and RC Strasbourg Alsace are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 56' Alexander Djiku was booked on 56.
- 57' Teji Savanier has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 57 minutes.
- 61' Goal! Gaetan Laborde scores his 90 goal in 417 matches.
- 65' What a strike from Teji Savanier! The score is 3-0.
- 66' Joris Chotard is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jordan Ferri at the 66 minute mark.
- 69' RC Strasbourg Alsace manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ibrahima Sissoko is hanging Dimitri Lienard on the field on 69 minute.
- 72' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Damien Le Tallec.
- 73' Montpellier HSC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Junior Sambia is hanging Gaetan Laborde on the field on 73 minute.
- 78' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 79' Yun Illok is replacing Thibaut Vargas for the Montpellier HSC side.
- 81' Kevin Lucien Zohi gets the nod from RC Strasbourg Alsace. He replaces Lebo Mothiba and will look to change the dynamic.
- 86' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 90' Abdul Majeed Waris is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Montpellier HSC players.
