  • 30' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Noe Lebreton.
  • 35' 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 Alec Georgen suffering a number of foals already.

  • 79' Emmanuel Ntim is replacing Jules Gaudin for the SM Caen side.
  • 84' 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.
