Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Nouste Camp. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 9' GOAL! Khalid Boutaib scores on 9.
- 14' SM Caen is showing some good football. However, SM Caen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 19' 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.

- 29' It’s high time Nicolas Seube made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 32' Oumar Ngom 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 215 games and scored 233 goals.
- 42' 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 Noe Lebreton suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' 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.
- 52' Mathias Autret has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 55' Tidiam Gomis has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mathias Autret on 55 minute.

- 59' Another change for SM Caen made on 59 minute. Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi leaves to be changed by Daylam Meddah.
- 64' Ousmane Kante is replacing Tairyk Arconte for the Pau FC side.
- 65' The whistle greets Antoine Mille as he departs to be replaced by Xavier Kouassi.
- 70' SM Caen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
- 73' It is a substitution in Pau FC team. Pathe Mboup is replaced by Yonis Njoh on 73 minute.
- 75' The SM Caen manager makes a substitution. Noe Lebreton departs to be replaced by Mohamed Hafid.
- 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 85' SM Caen 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.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Godson Kyeremeh on 90.
- The final score is 1-0.
