Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Paris Saint-Germain FC to score. At the same time, SM Caen does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 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 Casimir Ninga suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Neymar makes it 1-0.
- 15' Timo Stavitski needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 20' Emmanuel Imorou has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 399 appearances.
- 25' Antoine Bernede has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' Yoel Armougom has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 35' A stunning finish from Adrien Rabiot — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 40' SM Caen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 46' Another change for SM Caen made on 46 minute. Adama Mbengue leaves to be changed by Emmanuel Imorou.
- 51' France international Jessy Deminguet has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 3 assists in the Array this season.
- 56' SM Caen come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 61' Christopher Nkunku has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 5 goals to his name this season.
- 62' Another change for SM Caen made on 62 minute. Jessy Deminguet leaves to be changed by Enzo Crivelli.
- 67' 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.
- 70' Time for substitution for Paris Saint-Germain FC. Angel di Maria is replaced by Julian Draxler.
- 75' It’s high time Thomas Tuchel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 77' Another substitution for SM Caen to replace Casimir Ninga by Timo Stavitski on 77 minute.
- 82' Paris Saint-Germain FC make a change. Neymar trudges off to be replaced by Tim Weah on 82 minutes.
- 87' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 89' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Tim Weah makes it 3-0.
- 89' Tim Weah has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 89.
- SM Caen will have plenty to reflect on. Paris Saint-Germain FC were simply the better side today.
