Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Stade Michel d'Ornano. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Nantes is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' It looks surprising FC Nantes does not make any changes. Abdul Majeed Waris has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 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 Toure suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' The referee calls foul for Andrei Girotto. He receives a Yellow card.
- 31' The travelling FC Nantes supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 34' FC Nantes receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 34.
- 39' 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.
- 44' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 46' The whistle greets Valentin Eysseric as he departs to be replaced by Abdoulaye Toure.
- 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' SM Caen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
- 59' SM Caen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
- 62' The whistle greets Prince Oniangue as he departs to be replaced by Saif-Eddine Khaoui.
- 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yacine Bammou made 399 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 69' Another change for SM Caen made on 69 minute. Claudio Beauvue leaves to be changed by Enzo Crivelli.
- 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yoel Armougom on 71.
- 72' Another substitution for SM Caen to replace Evens Joseph by Casimir Ninga on 72 minute.
- 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Nantes that had 424 games and scored 329 goals.
- 78' Alexander Djiku was booked on 78.
- 80' FC Nantes is taking the lead after the goal scored by Valentin Rongier on 80.
- 84' Rene Krhin is replacing Abdul Majeed Waris for the FC Nantes side.
- 89' SM Caen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' FC Nantes manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Fabio is hanging Enock Kwateng on the field on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
