  • 23' Goal! Laurent Dos Santos scores his 7 goal in 367 matches.
  • 28' 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.

  • 34' Samba Diakite was booked on 34.
  • 39' Ahmed Kantari has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 44' Red Star FC is showing some good football. However, Red Star FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 49' 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.

  • 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 Gaetan Robail suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' The Valenciennes FC manager makes a substitution. Florian Raspentino departs to be replaced by Sebastien Roudet.
  • With this win, Valenciennes FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
