Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Metz kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It’s high time Rudi Garcia made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' FC Metz come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 15' Maxence Caqueret needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 22 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Dylan Bronn has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' Olympique Lyonnais is showing some good football. However, Olympique Lyonnais are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 27' The referee calls foul for Leo Dubois. He receives a Yellow card.
- 32' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Olympique Lyonnais and FC Metz are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 37' Over 37 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 42' With 4 assists to his name this season, Bruno Guimaraes is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Metz.
- 47' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 52' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Karl Toko Ekambi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 54' A change in the FC Metz ranks — Thomas Delaine exits the field as Matthieu Udol enters on 54.
- 59' 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 Jason Denayer suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' The supporters are chanting for Papa Ndiaga Yade. He replaces Vagner on 61 minute.
- 66' The home supporters are growing impatient. Olympique Lyonnais must find a spark to ignite this game.

- 74' What a moment for Karl Toko Ekambi! That strike on 74 puts his side firmly in control.
- 76' The Olympique Lyonnais manager makes a substitution. Karl Toko Ekambi departs to be replaced by Rayan Cherki.
- 77' Fresh legs for Olympique Lyonnais! Islam Slimani comes on to replace Tinotenda Kadewere.
- 82' Olympique Lyonnais is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 86' It’s a booking for FC Metz player. Boubacar Kouyate gets a Yellow card.
- 90' The crowd applauds Maxence Caqueret as he leaves the pitch. Bruno Guimaraes steps in for Olympique Lyonnais.
