Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Paris Saint-Germain FC is hosting FC Metz for another epic battle.
5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Paris Saint-Germain FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
10' FC Metz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
23' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Boubacar Traore.
25' A stunning finish from Kylian Mbappe — that came from absolutely nowhere!
28' What a moment for Kylian Mbappe! That strike on 28 puts his side firmly in control.
32' What a strike from Neymar! The score is 3-0.
37' The travelling FC Metz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
42' Achraf Hakimi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 48 Yellow cards this season.
47' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
50' What composure from Kylian Mbappe! The France international strokes it home. 4-0.
55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Metz that had 434 games and scored 360 goals.
56' Sikou Niakate is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik at the 56 minute mark.
58' Boubacar Traore catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 58.

67' What a strike from Angel di Maria! The score is 5-0.
71' FC Metz make a change. Didier Lamkel Ze trudges off to be replaced by Louis Mafouta on 71 minutes.
72' Controversy at the stadium! Neymar argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
75' Another substitution for Paris Saint-Germain FC to replace Angel di Maria by Ander Herrera on 75 minute.
79' Another substitution for Paris Saint-Germain FC to replace Marco Verratti by Idrissa Gana Gueye on 79 minute.
83' A tactical swap from Paris Saint-Germain FC — Alexandre Letellier on, Keylor Navas off on 83 minutes.
88' Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Metz.
