Goal Timing (This Season)

Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade Michel d'Ornano. Ninety minutes of football awaits between SM Caen and AS Nancy-Lorraine.
  • 5' The 38-year-old Remy Riou has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' SM Caen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AS Nancy-Lorraine backline.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 16' A tactical swap from SM Caen — Steve Shamal on, Ilyes Najim off on 16 minutes.
  • 17' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alex Mendy makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 22' Johann Lepenant is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Nancy-Lorraine so far.
  • 27' SM Caen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 32' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 37' Andrew Jung has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 42' The travelling AS Nancy-Lorraine supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' The AS Nancy-Lorraine bench stirs into life. Lamine Cisse is withdrawn and Kelvin Yondani gets his opportunity.
  • 51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Elliot Simoes, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Michel d'Ornano with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. SM Caen and AS Nancy-Lorraine are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 59' A tactical swap from AS Nancy-Lorraine — Andrew Jung on, Elliot Simoes off on 59 minutes.
  • 64' It looks surprising SM Caen does not make any changes. Jonathan Rivierez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 69' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Nancy-Lorraine is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 70' Another substitution for AS Nancy-Lorraine to replace Rosario Latouchent by Souleymane Karamoko on 70 minute.
  • 71' Benjamin Jeannot is replacing Alex Mendy for the SM Caen side.
  • 76' Over 76 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 80' SM Caen ring the changes. Ali El Abdi has done his job and it is now time for Aloys Fouda to step up.
  • 85' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SM Caen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 90' AS Nancy-Lorraine receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • SM Caen celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
