59' The deadlock is broken! Jorris Romil gets on the scoresheet on 59 minutes.
63' Grenoble Foot 38 ring the changes. Yohan Brun has done his job and it is now time for Jaba Jighauri to step up.
67' Nathael Julan makes way for Steve Ambri at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Valenciennes FC.
72' With 0 assists to his name this season, Gaetan Arib is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Valenciennes FC.
