Match Events

- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. OGC Nice needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 20' Ignatius Ganago needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yacine Bammou on 21.
- 26' 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 Wylan Cyprien suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' It looks surprising SM Caen does not make any changes. Emmanuel Imorou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 36' It’s high time Fabien Mercadal made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Prince Oniangue made 399 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' OGC Nice seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 52' Yacine Bammou puts SM Caen on the lead.

- 58' Another substitution for OGC de Nice Cote d'Azur to replace Patrick Burner by Ignatius Kpene Ganago on 58 minute.
