Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. RC Strasbourg Alsace host Racing Club de Lens — let the battle begin!
- 5' with the perfectly-timed delivery and M'Bala Nzola makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 10' The 23-year-old Abakar Sylla has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Emanuel Emegha made 241 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 18' Abakar Sylla has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
- 22' Andrey Santos is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' Angelo Fulgini has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 431 appearances.
- 32' 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 Wesley Said suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' The travelling Racing Club de Lens supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 38' Racing Club de Lens receives a card for a hard tackle on 38.
- 41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ismael Doukoure on 41.
- 44' What a moment for Andy Diouf! That strike on 44 puts his side firmly in control.
- 46' Fresh legs for RC Strasbourg Alsace! Sekou Mara comes on to replace Abakar Sylla.
- 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RC Strasbourg Alsace needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 56' Sebastian Nanasi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 60' The Senegal Habib Diarra breaks the deadlock on 60 minutes. 2-2!
- 64' Facundo Medina has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 64.
- 69' 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.
- 70' M'Bala Nzola has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 70.
- 72' A tactical swap from Racing Club de Lens — Florian Sotoca on, Wesley Said off on 72 minutes.
- 77' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 78' Ruben Aguilar is ready to make an impact after coming on for Przemyslaw Frankowski at the 78 minute mark.
- 79' The RC Strasbourg Alsace manager makes a substitution. Sebastian Nanasi departs to be replaced by Felix Lemarechal.
- 84' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 85' Racing Club de Lens make a change. Andy Diouf trudges off to be replaced by David Pereira da Costa on 85 minutes.
- 90' The whistle greets Emanuel Emegha as he departs to be replaced by Jeremy Sebas.
- It finishes all square. RC Strasbourg Alsace and Racing Club de Lens share the spoils 2-2.
