Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade de Paris!
  • 5' Valenciennes FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Red Star FC and Valenciennes FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Valenciennes FC 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' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Réginald Ray might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Clement Chantome has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 266 appearances.
  • 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 Cabral suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' Matthieu Fontaine was booked on 41.
  • 46' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Valenciennes FC that had 367 games and scored 259 goals.
  • 55' Laurent Dos Santos catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 55.
  • 57' Poor challenge from Clement Chantome. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
  • 62' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 63' The whistle greets Oussama Abdeldjelil as he departs to be replaced by Aboubacar Camara.
  • 68' Amadou Diallo does the damage! The net is bulging and Red Star FC surge ahead!
  • 70' Red Star FC ring the changes. Malcolm Edjouma has done his job and it is now time for Samba Diakite to step up.
  • 73' Valenciennes FC make a change. Gaetan Arib trudges off to be replaced by Steve Ambri on 73 minutes.
  • 74' Red Star FC make a change. Emmanuel Bourgaud trudges off to be replaced by Formose Mendy on 74 minutes.
  • 77' The referee has no hesitation. Samba Diakite is booked for Red Star FC — Yellow card on 77.
  • 82' Eden Massouema is having his name booked by the referee on 82.
  • 86' Time for substitution for Valenciennes FC. Laurent Dos Santos is replaced by Joffrey Cuffaut.
  • 88' Maxence Derrien was booked on 88.
