Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Stade de Paris (Stade Bauer) that hosts another battle between Red Star FC and Montpellier HSC.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dylan Durivaux made 328 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Red Star FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yael Mouanga, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de Paris (Stade Bauer) with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' The travelling Montpellier HSC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Red Star FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Ryad Hachem needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Montpellier HSC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Enzo Tchato on 37.
  • 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 43' Goal! Kevin Cabral scores his 27 goal in 367 matches.
  • 48' It’s high time Grégory Poirier made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Montpellier HSC that had 417 games and scored 379 goals.
  • 58' It looks surprising Red Star FC does not make any changes. Balthazar Pierret has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josue Escartin on 61.
  • 66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' Damien Durand has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 76' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 76 minutes.
  • 81' 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.
  • 86' 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 Josue Escartin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 88' What an equalizer from Nicolas Pays!
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
