Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Allianz Riviera that hosts another battle between OGC Nice and FC Metz.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Metz is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' FC Metz 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.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' It’s a booking for OGC Nice player. Sepe Elye Wahi gets a card.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' 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 Believe Munongo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maxime Colin made 383 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Metz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 73' The referee shows FC Metz player a card on 73.
  • 75' That looks like a foul for a card for Kojo Peprah Oppong.
  • 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
  • 85' It’s high time Benoit Tavenot made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 90' FC Metz is showing some good football. However, FC Metz are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
