- 0' We are underway at Stade du Hainaut. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Christophe Delmotte will be considering his options from the bench.
- 10' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Vincent Marchetti.
- 13' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Gaetan Courtet on 13 minutes.
- 18' Mathieu Debuchy has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 439 appearances.
- 23' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 28' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 33' 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 Aeron Zinga suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 43' Valenciennes FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.

- 66' Time for substitution for Valenciennes FC. Aeron Zinga is replaced by Ugo Bonnet.
- 70' Jean-Philippe Krasso makes way for Bevic Moussiti at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from AC Ajaccio.
- 71' That is a Yellow card for Valenciennes FC. Gaetan Robail will be fuming at that decision.
- 74' It is a substitution in Valenciennes FC team. Gaetan Robail is replaced by Aymen Boutoutaou on 74 minute.
- 76' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bevic Moussiti on 76.

- 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
