- 20' Teji Savanier puts Montpellier HSC on the lead.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rayan Cherki made 424 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 26' Fresh legs for Olympique Lyonnais! Djamel Benlamri comes on to replace Marcelo.
- 31' Olympique Lyonnais are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 36' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 81' Another change for Montpellier HSC made on 81 minute. Stephy Mavididi leaves to be changed by Pedro Mendes.
