Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade de Nice!
- 5' OGC Nice are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montpellier HSC backline.
- 10' Montpellier HSC is showing some good football. However, Montpellier HSC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His OGC Nice side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' Dante adds to his 0 season tally! OGC de Nice Cote d'Azur lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 25' Walter Benitez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for OGC Nice tonight.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 34' Controversy at the stadium! Hilton argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 39' 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 Mohamed Diaby suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Pierre Lees Melou, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de Nice with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
- 46' The OGC de Nice Cote d'Azur manager makes a substitution. Wylan Cyprien departs to be replaced by Remi Walter.
- 51' 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.
- 56' Bassem Srarfi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 452 appearances.
- 60' Time for substitution for Montpellier HSC. Mihajlo Ristic is replaced by Paul Lasne.
- 65' It looks surprising OGC Nice does not make any changes. Damien Le Tallec has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 69' The supporters are chanting for Olivier Boscagli. He replaces Mohamed Diaby on 69 minute.
- 74' Souleymane Camara has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gaetan Laborde on 74 minute.
- 79' It’s high time Michel Der Zakarian made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 81' A tactical swap from Montpellier HSC — Petar Skuletic on, Andy Delort off on 81 minutes.
- 83' OGC de Nice Cote d'Azur player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 87' Ignatius Kpene Ganago gets the nod from OGC de Nice Cote d'Azur. He replaces Bassem Srarfi and will look to change the dynamic.
