- 20' RC Strasbourg Alsace are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Montpellier HSC backline.
- 22' What a strike from Andy Delort! The score is 0-1.
- 27' 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 Sanjin Prcic suffering a number of foals already.

- 30' Anthony Goncalves catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 30.
