- 13' Gabriel Mutombo Kupa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jimmy Giraudon at the 13 minute mark.
- 18' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Pau FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 23' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jimmy Giraudon made 445 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 38' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 42' Antoine Batisse was booked on 42.
