Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: SM Caen gets underway.
  • 5' Grenoble Foot 38 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 7' The referee shows SM Caen player a card on 7.
  • 12' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SM Caen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 17' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 22' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 32' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Grenoble Foot 38 that had 433 games and scored 310 goals.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' Pape Ba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' SM Caen receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' Grenoble Foot 38 is taking the lead after the goal scored by Theo Valls on 45.
  • 46' The SM Caen manager makes a substitution. Diabe Bolumbu departs to be replaced by Lamine Sy.
  • 51' The travelling Grenoble Foot 38 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' 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.
  • 60' That looks like a foul for a card for Valentin Henry.
  • 62' Godson Kyeremeh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tidiam Gomis on 62 minute.
  • 67' Ayoub Jabbari has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alan Kerouedan on 67 minute.

  • 74' That looks like a foul for a card for Mattheo Xantippe.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Arial Mendy. He replaces Mattheo Xantippe on 75 minute.
  • 80' 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 Noe Lebreton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Grenoble Foot 38 receives a card for a hard tackle on 85.
  • 86' Shaquil Delos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Gaetan Paquiez on 86 minute.

  • 90' Grenoble Foot 38 player sees a card in front of him.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Kalifa Coulibaly. He replaces Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Grenoble Foot 38 players.
