- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Kalifa Coulibaly has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' It looks surprising SM Caen does not make any changes. Gustave Akueson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 30' SM Caen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 31' Alex Mendy puts SM Caen on the lead.
- 36' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Loic Etoga made 312 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
