Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Stade Michel d'Ornano. SM Caen are looking to make home advantage count against FC Nantes.
  • 5' 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 Enock Kwateng suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Abdoulaye Toure has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SM Caen and FC Nantes are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fabio, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Michel d'Ornano with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' FC Nantes have won 329 goals from 426 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 31' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 34' Andrei Girotto catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 34.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' Abdoulaye Toure has so much to prove this time. He replaces Valentin Eysseric on 46 minute.
  • 51' SM Caen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Nantes backline.
  • 55' Frederic Guilbert has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 55.
  • 59' The referee shows SM Caen player a Yellow card on 59.
  • 62' Saif-Eddine Khaoui gets the nod from SM Caen. He replaces Prince Oniangue and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 67' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Nantes needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 80' Valentin Rongier makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and FC Nantes are in front.
  • 84' The supporters are chanting for Rene Krhin. He replaces Abdul Majeed Waris on 84 minute.

  • 90' The FC Nantes bench stirs into life. Enock Kwateng is withdrawn and Fabio gets his opportunity.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from FC Nantes to claim maximum points.
