- 5' FC Sochaux-Montbeliard is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' FC Sochaux-Montbeliard have won 236 goals from 332 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 28' Abdallah Ndour has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 365 appearances.
- 33' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 35' That is a Yellow card for Pau FC. Denis Poha will be fuming at that decision.
- 40' Pau FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 46' Another change for FC Sochaux-Montbeliard made on 46 minute. Christophe Diedhiou leaves to be changed by Ismael Aaneba.
- 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 82' FC Sochaux-Montbeliard fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 87' 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 Tony Mauricio suffering a number of foals already.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
