Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade Bollaert-Delelis!
  • 5' Racing Club de Lens is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' It looks surprising Racing Club de Lens does not make any changes. Michael Barreto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 13' Tony Strata picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 16' What composure from Deiver Machado! The Colombia international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 21' AC Ajaccio are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 22' A stunning finish from Adrien Thomasson — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 27' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Franck Haise will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 32' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 34' That is a Yellow card for AC Ajaccio. Oumar Gonzalez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 35' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Lois Openda makes no mistake. 3-0!
  • 40' 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 Kevin Danso suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' With 0 assists to his name this season, Cedric Avinel is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Racing Club de Lens.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 57' The referee shows Racing Club de Lens player a Yellow card on 57.
  • 62' 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.
  • 67' AC Ajaccio manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ivane Chegra is hanging Riad Nouri on the field on 67 minute.
  • 68' Time for substitution for Racing Club de Lens. Lois Openda is replaced by Adam Buksa.
  • 69' A change in the Racing Club de Lens ranks — Deiver Machado exits the field as Massadio Haidara enters on 69.
  • 73' Moussa Soumano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ben Hamed Toure on 73 minute.
  • 78' The 38-year-old Mohamed Youssouf has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 81' Wesley Said gets the nod from Racing Club de Lens. He replaces Florian Sotoca and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' Alexis Claude Maurice is ready to make an impact after coming on for Angelo Fulgini at the 82 minute mark.
  • 87' It looks like no one’s ball. AC Ajaccio is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Racing Club de Lens to claim maximum points.
