  • 9' Florian Sotoca makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Racing Club de Lens are in front.
  • 14' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 19' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 24' Valentin Rongier has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 27' Against the run of play, Przemyslaw Frankowski has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 32' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Olympique de Marseille and Racing Club de Lens are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 33' A goal from the France international Dimitri Payet! He fires home on 33 to make it 1-2!
  • 38' It looks surprising Racing Club de Lens does not make any changes. Arnaud Kalimuendo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 46' The crowd applauds Valentin Rongier as he leaves the pitch. Pol Lirola steps in for Olympique de Marseille.

  • 58' 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.
  • 63' It is a substitution in Racing Club de Lens team. David Pereira da Costa is replaced by Gael Kakuta on 63 minute.
  • 68' 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 Jonathan Gradit suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Racing Club de Lens manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jonathan Clauss is hanging Deiver Machado on the field on 70 minute.
