Events

Match Events

0' That's the starting whistle at Stade du Hainaut. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Valenciennes FC and En Avant Guingamp.
5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Valenciennes FC and En Avant Guingamp are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
10' Valenciennes FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
15' 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.
20' 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.
25' The travelling En Avant Guingamp supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
28' The referee shows Valenciennes FC player a card on 28.
31' Poor challenge from Maxime Sivis. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
36' A moment of madness from Aymen Boutoutaou on 36 minutes earns him a card. Valenciennes FC will be frustrated.
41' 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.
46' Donatien Gomis has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
51' Dylan Louiserre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
56' Ayman Ben Mohamed is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for En Avant Guingamp so far.
61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
64' A change in the Valenciennes FC ranks — Nick Venema exits the field as Jason Berthomier enters on 64.
69' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jonathan Iglesias is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Valenciennes FC.
72' Fresh legs for En Avant Guingamp! Gaetan Courtet comes on to replace Mehdi Merghem.
77' Another substitution for En Avant Guingamp to replace Ayman Ben Mohamed by Vincent Manceau on 77 minute.
79' Valenciennes FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 79.
84' 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 Taylor Moore suffering a number of foals already.
87' Marius Noubissi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ugo Bonnet on 87 minute.
88' Aymen Boutoutaou makes way for Ilyes Hamache at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from Valenciennes FC.
will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
