  • 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' 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 Rayan Raveloson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Kevin Fortune has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 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.

  • 55' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nathael Julan on 55.
  • 60' 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.
  • 62' Bryan Mbeumo is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 2 goals this season for the .
  • 67' Morgan Poaty needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 70' Valenciennes FC make a change. Nathael Julan trudges off to be replaced by Sebastien Roudet on 70 minutes.
  • 74' Eden Massouema gets the nod from Valenciennes FC. He replaces Johann Ramare and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' The energy levels are beginning to show. Réginald Ray might look to freshen things up shortly.
