Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade Marcel-Tribut. Ninety minutes of football awaits between USL Dunkerque and FC Metz.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. USL Dunkerque is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Idrissa Gueye has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' A stunning finish from Cheikh Sabaly — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 35' 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.
  • 39' USL Dunkerque player sees a card in front of him.
  • 44' A quiet spell here at Stade Marcel-Tribut. FC Metz seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' The whistle greets Muhannad Al Saad as he departs to be replaced by Kay Tejan.
  • 51' It’s high time Luís Castro made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' Goal! Diogo Queiros scores his 3 goal in 499 matches.
  • 59' Both keepers have barely been tested. USL Dunkerque and FC Metz are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 64' Gaetan Courtet has been relatively quiet despite scoring 50 goals in his last 439 appearances.
  • 69' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both USL Dunkerque and FC Metz are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 72' Cheikh Sabaly has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 72 minutes.
  • 77' 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 Matthieu Udol suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' A change in the USL Dunkerque ranks — Diogo Queiros exits the field as Yacine Bammou enters on 80.
  • 84' A change in the USL Dunkerque ranks — Maxence Rivera exits the field as Gessime Yassine enters on 84.
  • 88' Fresh legs for FC Metz! Morgan Bokele comes on to replace Pape Diallo.

  • 90' Another change for FC Metz made on 90 minute. Ablie Jallow leaves to be changed by Idrissa Gueye.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from FC Metz to claim maximum points.
