- 9' Amiens SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 14' Amiens SC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 19' It looks surprising Amiens SC does not make any changes. Nicholas Opoku has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 22' The referee shows SM Caen player a Yellow card on 22.
- 24' Amiens SC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 24.
- 29' Amiens SC have won 268 goals from 434 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 34' SM Caen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Amiens SC backline.
- 39' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both SM Caen and Amiens SC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 42' The USA Nicholas Gioacchini breaks the deadlock on 42 minutes. 1-0!
- 47' SM Caen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SM Caen that had 399 games and scored 298 goals.
- 57' Emmanuel Lomotey has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 61' Moussa Konate makes way for Stephen Odey at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from Amiens SC.

- 79' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
