  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade des Costieres. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Nimes Olympique and Lille OSC.
  • 4' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Rafael Leao makes it 0-1.
  • 9' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 12' Jonathan Bamba has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 12.
  • 16' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Jose Fonte.
  • 21' Lille OSC ring the changes. Rafael Leao has done his job and it is now time for Edgar Ie to step up.
  • 26' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sofiane Alakouch is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Lille OSC.
  • 31' The travelling Lille OSC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 36' Nimes Olympique are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 38' Lille OSC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 41' GOAL! Jonathan Bamba scores on 41. Assisted by Zeki Celik
  • 46' The Nimes Olympique manager makes a substitution. Sofiane Alakouch departs to be replaced by Rachid Alioui.
  • 51' Jonathan Ikone has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Thiago Mendes on 55 minutes.
  • 56' A change in the Nimes Olympique ranks — Theo Valls exits the field as Sada Thioub enters on 56.

  • 73' 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 Xeka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' Denis Bouanga catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
  • 77' Thiago Maia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Xeka at the 77 minute mark.
