- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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 Alan Virginius suffering a number of foals already.
- 13' GOAL! Aldo Kalulu fires home to make it 0-1!
- 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
- 23' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 28' With 0 assists to his name this season, Stefan Bajic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Pau FC.
- 33' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 35' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Denis Poha.

- 56' Pau FC have won 233 goals from 215 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 58' A tactical swap from FC Sochaux-Montbeliard — Ousseynou Thioune on, Joseph Lopy off on 58 minutes.
- 61' Pau FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Samuel Essende is hanging Zakaria Naidji on the field on 61 minute.
- 66' It looks surprising FC Sochaux-Montbéliard does not make any changes. Tony Mauricio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
