Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Valenciennes FC gets underway.
- 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 10' AS Saint-Etienne player sees a card in front of him.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anthony Briancon, as he is very good at scoring at Stade du Hainaut with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' AS Saint-Étienne seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 23' What a strike from Ibrahim Sissoko! The score is 0-1.
- 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Valenciennes FC that had 367 games and scored 259 goals.
- 30' What a strike from Irvin Cardona! The score is 0-2.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' The whistle greets Mathias Oyewusi as he departs to be replaced by Flamarion.
- 45' Makabi Lilepo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Valenciennes FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 55' Sacha Banse needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 56' Yvann Macon was booked on 56.
- 61' It looks surprising Valenciennes FC does not make any changes. Jean Eric Moursou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 62' The supporters are chanting for Julien Masson. He replaces Souleymane Basse on 62 minute.
- 67' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 68' Mathieu Cafaro is replacing Nathanael Mbuku for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
- 69' The whistle greets Joffrey Cuffaut as he departs to be replaced by Ibrahima Ba.
- 74' 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 Dylan Chambost suffering a number of foals already.
- 79' The supporters are chanting for Dylan Batubinsika. He replaces Mickael Nade on 79 minute.
- 84' Valenciennes FC is showing some good football. However, Valenciennes FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 89' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 90' It is a substitution in AS Saint-Etienne team. Irvin Cardona is replaced by Benjamin Bouchouari on 90 minute.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Valenciennes FC.
