Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. SC Bastia host AS Saint-Etienne — let the battle begin!
  • 1' Magnificent from Alexandre Bi Zaouai! That is 2 goals in 174 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 6' 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.
  • 8' Anthony Roncaglia has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 8.
  • 13' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Bastia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 18' SC Bastia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 18.
  • 23' AS Saint-Etienne are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Julien Le Cardinal, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Armand Cesari with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' Tom Meynadier is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Saint-Etienne so far.
  • 34' Augustine Boakye is having his name booked by the referee on 34.
  • 39' SC Bastia currently sit 18 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Juan Guevara on 45.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Saint-Etienne needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 53' Joshua Duffus is ready to make an impact after coming on for Irvin Cardona at the 53 minute mark.
  • 58' AS Saint-Etienne have won 380 goals from 427 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 59' The SC Bastia bench stirs into life. Anthony Roncaglia is withdrawn and Zakaria Ariss gets his opportunity.
  • 60' Fresh legs for SC Bastia! Jeremy Sebas comes on to replace Ruben Beliandjou.
  • 65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 69' The whistle greets Jocelyn Janneh as he departs to be replaced by Joachim Eickmayer.
  • 71' What composure from Joachim Eickmayer! The France international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 74' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joshua Duffus on 74.
  • 79' Irvin Cardona has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 84' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 89' SC Bastia receives a card for a hard tackle on 89.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Noah Zilliox.
  • 90' Tom Meynadier makes way for Noah Zilliox at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Bastia.
