Events

Match Events

  • 10' It’s gonna be a card for Irvin Cardona.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Valenciennes FC and AS Saint-Étienne are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 23' A goal from the Mali international Ibrahim Sissoko! He fires home on 23 to make it 0-1!

  • 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 50' Jean Eric Moursou is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Saint-Étienne so far.
  • 55' Joffrey Cuffaut, a France , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 56' The referee calls foul for Yvann Macon. He receives a card.
  • 61' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Valenciennes FC and AS Saint-Étienne are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 62' The Valenciennes FC bench stirs into life. Souleymane Basse is withdrawn and Julien Masson gets his opportunity.
  • 67' Mathieu Cafaro has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 68' Mathieu Cafaro is replacing Nathanael Mbuku for the AS Saint-Etienne side.
  • 69' Joffrey Cuffaut makes way for Ibrahima Ba at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from Valenciennes FC.

  • 84' The home supporters are growing impatient. Valenciennes FC must find a spark to ignite this game.

  • 90' The AS Saint-Etienne manager makes a substitution. Irvin Cardona departs to be replaced by Benjamin Bouchouari.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
