Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — SM Caen and US Concarneau get this one started.
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. SM Caen and US Concarneau are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' It looks surprising US Concarneau does not make any changes. Bilal Brahimi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SM Caen that had 399 games and scored 298 goals.
- 18' The referee calls foul for Alec Georgen. He receives a card.
- 23' 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 Julien Celestine suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Fresh legs for SM Caen! Quentin Daubin comes on to replace Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi.
- 30' Ambroise Gboho has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 34' The referee calls foul for Guillaume Jannez. He receives a card.
- 39' Alex Mendy is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for US Concarneau so far.
- 44' SM Caen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' US Concarneau make a change. Alec Georgen trudges off to be replaced by Romain Sans on 46 minutes.
- 49' It’s gonna be a card for Godson Kyeremeh.
- 54' US Concarneau 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.
- 59' The 22-year-old Brahim Traore has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 63' Bilal Brahimi makes way for Mickael Le Bihan at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from SM Caen.
- 68' Yanis Merdji has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 72' Alex Mendy doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 77' SM Caen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 78' Clement Rodrigues has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ambroise Gboho on 78 minute.
- 83' A tactical swap from US Concarneau — Maxime Etuin on, Gabriel Bares off on 83 minutes.
- 84' Time for substitution for SM Caen. Alex Mendy is replaced by Caleb Zady Sery.
