- 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Racing Club de Lens must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 15' Ruben Aguilar, a France , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 19' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Deiver Machado on 19 minutes.
- 24' Malang Sarr is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Saint-Etienne so far.

- 30' Racing Club de Lens player sees a card in front of him.
- 32' Yvann Macon has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 32.

- 52' Florian Sotoca is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AS Saint-Etienne tonight.

- 75' GOAL! Goduine Koyalipou scores on 75. Assisted by Deiver Machado
- 79' The whistle greets Ruben Aguilar as he departs to be replaced by Kyllian Antonio.
- 84' It is a cagey affair so far. Racing Club de Lens in their 3-4-1-2 trying to find a way past AS Saint-Etienne's compact 4-3-3.

- 86' Andy Diouf makes way for Angelo Fulgini at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from Racing Club de Lens.
