- 5' 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.

- 15' SM Caen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Chamois Niortais FC's shape.

- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 30' It’s high time Pascal Dupraz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 35' 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 Jessy Deminguet suffering a number of foals already.
