10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Pau FC and FC Sochaux-Montbéliard are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' Joseph Lopy is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard tonight.
20' Xavier Kouassi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 226 appearances.
25' The 29-year-old Abdourahmane Ndiaye has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Pau FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
32' Xavier Kouassi was booked on 32.
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Pau FC that had 226 games and scored 249 goals.

47' Senegal international Cheikh Tidiane Sabaly has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

72' Pau FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Sochaux-Montbéliard backline.
77' FC Sochaux-Montbéliard are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
