Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Valenciennes FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' It looks surprising Valenciennes FC does not make any changes. Aymen Boutoutaou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Paris FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Paris FC is showing some good football. However, Paris FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Paris FC that had 435 games and scored 359 goals.
  • 38' What a strike from Pierre-Yves Hamel! The score is 0-1.
  • 43' Valenciennes FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 48' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 53' Sacha Banse has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 30 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 58' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 62' Ismail Bouneb is replacing Aymen Boutoutaou for the Valenciennes FC side.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Paris FC. Yohan Demoncy is replaced by Lohann Doucet.
  • 70' Valenciennes FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. David Kjaer Kruse is hanging Julien Masson on the field on 70 minute.
  • 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 77' The Paris FC manager makes a substitution. Alimami Gory departs to be replaced by Lamine Diaby-Fadiga.
  • 79' Another change for Valenciennes FC made on 79 minute. Makabi Lilepo leaves to be changed by Nick Venema.
  • 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.
  • 89' The travelling Paris FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' The whistle greets Pierre-Yves Hamel as he departs to be replaced by Ayoub Jabbari.
  • Full Time. Paris FC beats Valenciennes FC
