Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and OGC Nice launch into their encounter with Montpellier HSC.
  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Boubacar Kouyate is clearly more than just a goal scorer for OGC Nice.
  • 10' Montpellier HSC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' The travelling Montpellier HSC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Moise Bombito has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' OGC Nice 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' OGC Nice is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jonathan Clauss on 30.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 5-3-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 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 Nicolas Pays suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' It’s a booking for Montpellier HSC player. Khalil Fayad gets a card.
  • 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering OGC Nice that had 450 games and scored 376 goals.
  • 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 63' The whistle greets Baptiste Santamaria as he departs to be replaced by Pablo Rosario.
  • 64' Tom Louchet is replacing Ali El Abdi for the OGC Nice side.
  • 65' GOAL! Hicham Boudaoui fires home to make it 2-0!

  • 71' Youssouf Ndayishimiye catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 71.
  • 72' Time for substitution for Montpellier HSC. Theo Sainte-Luce is replaced by Falaye Sacko.
  • 76' The whistle greets Evann Guessand as he departs to be replaced by Sofiane Diop.
  • 81' Mohamed Cho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 4 cards already picked up this season.
  • 84' Time for substitution for Montpellier HSC. Tanguy Coulibaly is replaced by Junior Ndiaye.
