- 25' Victor Lobry was booked on 25.
- 26' Goal! Georges Mikautadze scores his 40 goal in 431 matches.
- 31' 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 Gautier Larsonneur suffering a number of foals already.

- 74' FC Metz receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 74.
- 79' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
