Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Pau FC and AS Saint-Étienne is underway.
- 5' AS Saint-Étienne is showing some good football. However, AS Saint-Étienne are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' Morocco international Benjamin Bouchouari has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' AS Saint-Étienne is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 30' Pau FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. Pau FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 36' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Xavier Kouassi on 36 minutes.
- 38' What a strike from Dylan Chambost! The score is 0-1.
- 43' 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 Jean Ruiz suffering a number of foals already.
- 48' The travelling AS Saint-Étienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 53' Dennis Appiah is a natural right-back and has been asked to do a very specific job for AS Saint-Étienne tonight.

- 64' Lamine Fomba is replacing Thomas Monconduit for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
- 69' It looks surprising AS Saint-Étienne does not make any changes. Lamine Fomba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 74' Charles Boli is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yanis Begraoui at the 74 minute mark.
- 78' AS Saint-Etienne manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nathanael Mbuku is hanging Benjamin Bouchouari on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 85' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Sessi D'Almeida.
- 90' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nathanael Mbuku, as he is very good at scoring at Nouste Camp with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 0-1 the final result. Pau FC will be bitterly disappointed.
