- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Nimes Olympique and Montpellier HSC is underway.
- 5' Montpellier HSC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Nimes Olympique currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nimes Olympique that had 340 games and scored 239 goals.
- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' 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 Daniel Congre suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Montpellier HSC 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.
- 40' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Yassine Benrahou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Gaetan Paquiez gets the nod from Nimes Olympique. He replaces Florian Miguel and will look to change the dynamic.

- 63' A goal from the Senegal international Moussa Kone! He fires home on 63 to make it 1-1!
- 67' Lamine Fomba has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 67.
- 72' Nimes Olympique manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lucas Deaux is hanging Moussa Kone on the field on 72 minute.
- 73' The Nimes Olympique manager makes a substitution. Yassine Benrahou departs to be replaced by Niclas Eliasson.
- 74' Sepe Elye Wahi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jordan Ferri at the 74 minute mark.
