Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Olympique Lyonnais and Nimes Olympique has kicked off!
  • 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 Maxwel Cornet suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Nimes Olympique is showing some good football. However, Nimes Olympique are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anthony Lopes, as he is very good at scoring at Groupama Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 25' Nimes Olympique started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Maxwel Cornet on 34.
  • 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Olympique Lyonnais that had 424 games and scored 568 goals.
  • 44' The travelling Nimes Olympique supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Karl Toko Ekambi. He replaces Maxwel Cornet on 46 minute.
  • 48' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andres Cubas.
  • 52' A meaty challenge results in booking for Leo Dubois on 52.
  • 56' Sinaly Diomande is replacing Leo Dubois for the Olympique Lyonnais side.
  • 59' The supporters are chanting for Matteo Ahlinvi. He replaces Sidy Sarr on 59 minute.

  • 73' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 78' It’s high time Rudi Garcia made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 83' It looks like no one’s ball. Olympique Lyonnais is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 87' It is a substitution in Olympique Lyonnais team. Rayan Cherki is replaced by Tinotenda Kadewere on 87 minute.
  • 90' Olympique Lyonnais player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
