Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Racing Club de Lens host La Berrichonne de Chateauroux — let the battle begin!
  • 5' 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 Fabien Centonze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gregory Bourillon made 256 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' La Berrichonne de Chateauroux 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.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 22' La Berrichonne de Chateauroux player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 27' Walid Mesloub, a Algeria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 42' Christophe Mandanne has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' The whistle greets Massadio Haidara as he departs to be replaced by Arial Mendy.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering La Berrichonne de Chateauroux that had 256 games and scored 106 goals.
  • 56' Sekou Conde needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 58' Racing Club de Lens manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Achraf Bencharki is hanging Jean-Ricner Bellegarde on the field on 58 minute.
  • 60' The La Berrichonne de Chateauroux bench stirs into life. Abdoulrazak Boukari is withdrawn and Christophe Mandanne gets his opportunity.
  • 65' Magnificent from Christophe Mandanne! That is 3 goals in 256 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 67' Aleksandar Radovanovic catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 67.
  • 68' Abdoulaye Sissako is replacing Maxime Barthelme for the La Berrichonne de Chateauroux side.
  • 73' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' The whistle greets Souleymane Diarra as he departs to be replaced by Mounir Chouiar.
  • 76' It’s a booking for Racing Club de Lens player. Walid Mesloub gets a Yellow card.
  • 78' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gregory Bourillon.
  • 83' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 87' Poor challenge from Remi Pillot. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 88' El-Hadji Ba has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
  • 89' A tactical swap from La Berrichonne de Chateauroux — Serigne Fallou Niang on, Opa Sangante off on 89 minutes.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mehdi Tahrat.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
