Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Pau FC and AC Ajaccio get this one started.
  • 5' Scotty Sadzoute is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Pau FC tonight.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Riad Nouri has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Congo DR international Gedeon Kalulu has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' Victor Lobry has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 12 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' AC Ajaccio are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' AC Ajaccio come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 45' Romain Armand needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
  • 46' A change in the AC Ajaccio ranks — Michael Barreto exits the field as Riad Nouri enters on 46.
  • 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 56' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 61' Pau FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AC Ajaccio backline.
  • 62' Tairyk Arconte makes way for Yanis Cimignani at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from AC Ajaccio.
  • 67' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Pau FC. Itaitinga is replaced by Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly.
  • 73' AC Ajaccio fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 74' The Pau FC bench stirs into life. Mayron George is withdrawn and Abdourahmane Ndiaye gets his opportunity.
  • 77' The whistle greets Joris Sainati as he departs to be replaced by Matthieu Huard.
  • 80' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Souleymane Diarra.
  • 82' A tactical swap from AC Ajaccio — Jean Botue Kouame on, Gaetan Courtet off on 82 minutes.
  • 83' Souleymane Diarra makes way for Romain Bayard at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Pau FC.
  • 88' 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 Michael Barreto suffering a number of foals already.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
