- 20' ES Troyes AC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 30' Valenciennes FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Saliou Ciss is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Valenciennes FC tonight.
- 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rui Miguel de Almeida will be considering his options from the bench.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Nathael Julan is having his name booked by the referee on 55.

- 62' A goal from the Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo! He fires home on 62 to make it 0-1!

- 79' 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 Claude Goncalves suffering a number of foals already.

- 83' The crowd applauds Frederic Bong as he leaves the pitch. Baptiste Aloe steps in for Valenciennes FC.
