  • 13' It’s a booking for Pau FC player. Jean Ruiz gets a card.
  • 18' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gauthier Hein, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Saint Symphorien with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 23' 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 Kandet Diawara suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' Pau FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 34' Kouadio Ange Ahoussou was booked on 34.
  • 39' The referee calls foul for Ababacar Lo. He receives a card.
  • 44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
  • 46' Another substitution for Pau FC to replace Oumar Ngom by Kylian Gasnier on 46 minute.

  • 66' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 68' The whistle greets Ibou Sane as he departs to be replaced by Morgan Bokele.
  • 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 77' The Pau FC manager makes a substitution. Kandet Diawara departs to be replaced by Yonis Njoh.
