- 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade des Costieres. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Nimes Olympique and Montpellier HSC.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Nimes Olympique and Montpellier HSC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Congre made 417 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Lamine Fomba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 434 appearances.
- 35' Nimes Olympique currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 40' 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 Petar Skuletic suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' A tactical swap from Nimes Olympique — Gaetan Paquiez on, Florian Miguel off on 45 minutes.

- 72' Nimes Olympique make a change. Moussa Kone trudges off to be replaced by Lucas Deaux on 72 minutes.
- 73' A change in the Nimes Olympique ranks — Yassine Benrahou exits the field as Niclas Eliasson enters on 73.
- 74' Montpellier HSC make a change. Jordan Ferri trudges off to be replaced by Sepe Elye Wahi on 74 minutes.
- 79' Andy Delort has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 79 minutes.
- 84' 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.
- 87' The whistle greets Renaud Ripart as he departs to be replaced by Nolan Roux.
- 90' Another change for Montpellier HSC made on 90 minute. Andy Delort leaves to be changed by Petar Skuletic.
