Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: SM Caen gets underway.
  • 5' SM Caen is showing some good football. However, SM Caen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 19' The referee shows Olympique Lyonnais player a Yellow card on 19.
  • 24' Rafael is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for SM Caen so far.
  • 29' The travelling Olympique Lyonnais supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' SM Caen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 30.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcelo made 432 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 45' The France Nabil Fekir breaks the deadlock on 45 minutes. 0-1!
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 53' Magnificent from Claudio Beauvue! That is 5 goals in 399 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 55' Alexander Djiku picks up a Red card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 58' The whistle greets Saif-Eddine Khaoui as he departs to be replaced by Romain Genevois.
  • 63' 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 Houssem Aouar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Olympique Lyonnais. Nabil Fekir is replaced by Martin Terrier.
  • 70' Alexander Djiku, a Ghana , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 73' SM Caen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Prince Oniangue on 73.

  • 79' The SM Caen manager makes a substitution. Claudio Beauvue departs to be replaced by Baissama Sankoh.
  • 84' SM Caen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Rafael on 86 minutes.
  • 88' What composure from Ferland Mendy! The France international strokes it home. 2-2.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Baissama Sankoh. He receives a Red card.
  • 2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
