- 0' The game is set. Nimes Olympique kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Antoine Valerio made 340 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' Sessi D'Almeida is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nimes Olympique so far.

- 28' The referee calls foul for Joffrey Cuffaut. He receives a Yellow card.
- 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lamine Fomba on 32.
- 37' Valenciennes FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Elias Mar Omarsson.

- 67' The crowd applauds Aymen Boutoutaou as he leaves the pitch. Floyd Ayite steps in for Valenciennes FC.
