Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale is hosting FC Annecy for another epic battle.
- 5' US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale is showing some good football. However, US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale have won 10 goals from 43 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' FC Annecy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' named a 4-1-4-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale that had 43 games and scored 10 goals.
- 34' A moment of madness from Axel Drouhin on 34 minutes earns him a card. FC Annecy will be frustrated.
- 39' Siad Gourville has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 44' It looks surprising US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale does not make any changes. Jonas Martin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Ahmed Kashi.
- 46' Antoine Larose makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and FC Annecy are in front.
- 51' US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 53' Goal! Thibault Rambaud scores his 4 goal in 70 matches.
- 58' Both keepers have barely been tested. US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale and FC Annecy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 63' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 63 minutes.
- 68' Triston Rowe is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Annecy so far.
- 71' Amine El Farissi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 71 minutes.
- 76' The travelling FC Annecy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 81' 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 Alexis Casadei suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' It looks like no one’s ball. US Boulogne Cote d\'Opale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from FC Annecy to claim maximum points.
