Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Montpellier HSC gets underway.
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Olivier Dall'Oglio might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' France international Melvin Bard has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. OGC Nice needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' The travelling Montpellier HSC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Maxime Esteve has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' It looks surprising OGC Nice does not make any changes. Mario Lemina has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 40' Montpellier HSC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' A change in the OGC Nice ranks — Hassane Kamara exits the field as Alexis Claude Maurice enters on 46.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Valere Germain, as he is very good at scoring at Allianz Riviera with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 58' OGC Nice make a change. Youcef Attal trudges off to be replaced by Jordan Lotomba on 58 minutes.
  • 63' The referee has no hesitation. Khephren Thuram-Ulie is booked for OGC Nice — Yellow card on 63.
  • 67' Montpellier HSC ring the changes. Sepe Elye Wahi has done his job and it is now time for Nicholas Gioacchini to step up.
  • 68' OGC Nice make a change. Mario Lemina trudges off to be replaced by Pablo Rosario on 68 minutes.
  • 73' OGC Nice is showing some good football. However, OGC Nice are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 77' Melvin Bard picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 80' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Florent Mollet makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 81' GOAL! Florent Mollet fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 82' Another substitution for Montpellier HSC to replace Stephy Mavididi by Beni Makouana on 82 minute.
  • 87' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' The crowd applauds Khephren Thuram-Ulie as he leaves the pitch. Calvin Stengs steps in for OGC Nice.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
