Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Allianz Riviera. OGC Nice are looking to make home advantage count against Montpellier HSC.
  • 5' OGC Nice currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Gaetan Laborde is clearly more than just a goal scorer for OGC Nice.
  • 15' Assisted by Khephren Thuram-Ulie with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nicolas Pepe makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' 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 Leo Leroy suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Romain Pitau might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Khephren Thuram-Ulie adds to his 0 season tally! OGC Nice lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 40' 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.
  • 43' OGC Nice ring the changes. Hicham Boudaoui has done his job and it is now time for Mario Lemina to step up.
  • 46' Montpellier HSC ring the changes. Beni Makouana has done his job and it is now time for Arnaud Nordin to step up.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Nicolas Pepe adds to his 4 season tally! OGC Nice lead 3-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 61' Wahbi Khazri gets the nod from Montpellier HSC. He replaces Leo Leroy and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 63' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nicolas Pepe.
  • 67' Ross Barkley has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aaron Ramsey on 67 minute.
  • 68' Another change for OGC Nice made on 68 minute. Nicolas Pepe leaves to be changed by Badredine Bouanani.
  • 73' It looks surprising Montpellier HSC does not make any changes. Jordan Ferri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' The Montpellier HSC bench stirs into life. Maxime Esteve is withdrawn and Mamadou Sakho gets his opportunity.
  • 75' Andy Delort does the damage! The net is bulging and OGC Nice surge ahead!
  • 78' OGC Nice manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Pablo Rosario is hanging Khephren Thuram-Ulie on the field on 78 minute.
  • 80' What composure from Teji Savanier! The France international strokes it home. 4-1.
  • 82' The deadlock is broken! Ross Barkley gets on the scoresheet on 82 minutes.
  • 85' Against the run of play, Ross Barkley has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 90' Beni Makouana, a Congo , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 6-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
