Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Stade de Reims host FC Nantes — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Poor challenge from Fabio. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 7' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ghislain Konan on 7.
  • 12' El Bilal Toure has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 17' Both keepers have barely been tested. Stade de Reims and FC Nantes are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 18' Nicolas Pallois puts FC Nantes on the lead.
  • 23' It looks surprising Stade de Reims does not make any changes. Dennis Appiah has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 28' FC Nantes come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 33' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 38' Stade de Reims started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 43' A quiet spell here at Stade Auguste-Delaune II. FC Nantes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Dennis Appiah. He replaces Fabio on 46 minute.
  • 51' Stade de Reims currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 56' 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.
  • 58' Moreto Cassama has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 58.
  • 61' Stade de Reims ring the changes. Kaj Sierhuis has done his job and it is now time for Mathieu Cafaro to step up.
  • 66' 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 Moreto Cassama suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' with the perfectly-timed delivery and El Bilal Toure makes no mistake. 1-1!
  • 72' The deadlock is broken! Boulaye Dia gets on the scoresheet on 72 minutes.
  • 72' FC Nantes player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 73' Another change for FC Nantes made on 73 minute. Moses Simon leaves to be changed by Marcus Coco.
  • 74' What composure from Mathieu Cafaro! The France international strokes it home. 3-1.
  • 76' Another substitution for Stade de Reims to replace El Bilal Toure by Marshall Munetsi on 76 minute.
  • 79' Ludovic Blas has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 79 minutes.
  • 79' A change in the FC Nantes ranks — Imran Louza exits the field as Pedro Chirivella enters on 79.
  • 80' Fresh legs for FC Nantes! Renaud Emond comes on to replace Randal Kolo Muani.
  • 82' The whistle greets Valon Berisha as he departs to be replaced by Xavier Chavalerin.
  • 87' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-2.
