Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Stade du Hainaut as Valenciennes FC face off against Grenoble Foot 38 in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 3' The referee shows Grenoble Foot 38 player a Yellow card on 3.
  • 8' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 13' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Grenoble Foot 38 that had 445 games and scored 322 goals.
  • 18' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 23' Baptiste Guillaume has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 28' A quiet spell here at Stade du Hainaut. Valenciennes FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 31' Grenoble Foot 38 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' Both keepers have barely been tested. Valenciennes FC and Grenoble Foot 38 are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 46' Moussa Djitte, a Senegal , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 49' Manuel Perez is having his name booked by the referee on 49.
  • 54' 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 Mathis Picouleau suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' Valenciennes FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Emmanuel Ntim was booked on 62.
  • 66' Grenoble Foot 38 ring the changes. David Henen has done his job and it is now time for Yoric Ravet to step up.

  • 69' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jaba Kankava on 69 minutes.
  • 74' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Emmanuel Ntim makes it 1-0.
  • 75' Another substitution for Grenoble Foot 38 to replace Jessy Benet by Florian Michel on 75 minute.
  • 78' A change in the Valenciennes FC ranks — Mathis Picouleau exits the field as Issouf Macalou enters on 78.
  • 83' Yoric Ravet has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 84' Joffrey Cuffaut was booked on 84.
  • 86' The Grenoble Foot 38 bench stirs into life. Willy Semedo is withdrawn and Kevin Tapoko gets his opportunity.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Valenciennes FC.
