  • 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Laurent Guyot will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' It looks surprising FC Annecy does not make any changes. Makabi Lilepo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Jonathan Buatu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 20 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Samuel Ntamack is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Annecy.

  • 40' Taylor Moore has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Annecy that had 144 games and scored 151 goals.
