Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for SM Caen to score. At the same time, SC Bastia does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Gustave Akueson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 31 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. SM Caen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' SM Caen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' 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 Yannis Clementia suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' 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.
- 31' GOAL! Alex Mendy scores on 31. Assisted by Mickael Le Bihan
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 41' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Zakaria Ariss on 45.
- 46' Time for substitution for SM Caen. Valentin Henry is replaced by Diabe Bolumbu.
- 51' It looks surprising SM Caen does not make any changes. Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Bastia that had 173 games and scored 191 goals.
- 57' What a strike from Bilal Brahimi! The score is 2-0.
- 62' 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.
- 65' Another substitution for SM Caen to replace Mickael Le Bihan by Godson Kyeremeh on 65 minute.
- 67' Felix Tomi is replacing Clement Rodrigues for the SC Bastia side.
- 69' SM Caen player sees a card in front of him.
- 74' Another substitution for SC Bastia to replace Christophe Vincent by Julien Maggiotti on 74 minute.
- 77' Lorenzo Rajot has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bilal Brahimi on 77 minute.
- 82' SM Caen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 82.
- 87' The travelling SC Bastia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' Time for substitution for SM Caen. Alex Mendy is replaced by Mathias Autret.
- Another three points for SM Caen.
