Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Olympique Lyonnais gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Ibou Sane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' It’s high time Laszlo Boloni made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 18' Another substitution for FC Metz to replace Alexandre Oukidja by Guillaume Dietsch on 18 minute.
  • 19' Sinaly Diomande has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 19.
  • 24' Over 24 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 29' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 34' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' Jake O'Brien has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 49' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 54' Olympique Lyonnais currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 58' Olympique Lyonnais ring the changes. Mama Balde has done his job and it is now time for Rayan Cherki to step up.
  • 63' Olympique Lyonnais started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
  • 68' Sweden international Joel Asoro has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 70' Another substitution for FC Metz to replace Joel Asoro by Joseph N'Duquidi on 70 minute.
  • 75' Olympique Lyonnais are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Metz backline.
  • 77' Against the run of play, Ablie Jallow has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 81' Another change for Olympique Lyonnais made on 81 minute. Clinton Mata leaves to be changed by Jeffinho.
  • 84' What composure from Skelly Alvero! The France international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 88' Poor challenge from Kevin Van Den Kerkhof. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Kevin Van Den Kerkhof on 89 minutes.
  • 89' Ablie Jallow makes way for Kevin N'Doram at the 89 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Metz.
  • The final score is 1-1.
