Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Rodez Aveyron Football and AS Saint-Étienne has kicked off!
  • 5' AS Saint-Étienne started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ben Old made 209 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mickael Nade, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Paul Lignon with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 17' Goal! Ibrahima Balde scores his 13 goal in 446 matches.
  • 22' 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.
  • 27' AS Saint-Étienne is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 32' Tairyk Arconte needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
  • 37' AS Saint-Étienne 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.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Saint-Étienne is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 47' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rodez Aveyron Football needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 52' It’s high time Didier Santini made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' GOAL! Ibrahima Balde scores on 54.
  • 55' Ibrahima Balde is having his name booked by the referee on 55.
  • 60' 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.
  • 65' The travelling AS Saint-Étienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 69' Augustine Boakye is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
  • 74' 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 Abdoulaye Kante suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Raphael Lipinski has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
  • 89' What a strike from Irvin Cardona! The score is 2-1.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Octave Joly.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Rodez Aveyron Football players.
