- 25' Heliodino Tavares has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 31' Red Star FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Aliou Badji on 31.
- 36' 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.
- 41' SM Caen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 41.
- 46' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Loic Kouagba made 190 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Red Star FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
