  • 10' Nimes Olympique started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' The travelling Nimes Olympique supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jean N'Guessan made 340 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' 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 Steve Ambri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' What a strike from Georges Mikautadze! The score is 1-0.
  • 30' What a strike from Georges Mikautadze! The score is 2-0.
  • 32' Joseph Lopy is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
  • 37' 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.
