Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Michel-d'Ornano that hosts another battle between SM Caen and AS Saint-Etienne.
- 5' SM Caen is showing some good football. However, SM Caen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diabe Bolumbu made 399 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' 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 Ibrahim Sissoko suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' AS Saint-Etienne seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 30' AS Saint-Etienne is taking the lead after the goal scored by Florian Tardieu on 30.
- 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Valentin Henry on 35.
- 40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brahim Traore, as he is very good at scoring at Michel-d'Ornano with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 45' It is a substitution in SM Caen team. Emmanuel Ntim is replaced by Alexandre Coeff on 45 minute.
- 46' The SM Caen manager makes a substitution. Diabe Bolumbu departs to be replaced by Mickael Le Bihan.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Saint-Etienne that had 418 games and scored 336 goals.
- 56' AS Saint-Etienne is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 61' Alex Mendy has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 62' SM Caen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Godson Kyeremeh is hanging Caleb Zady Sery on the field on 62 minute.
- 67' It’s gonna be a card for Ali El Abdi.
- 68' Aimen Moueffek has so much to prove this time. He replaces Benjamin Bouchouari on 68 minute.
- 73' The travelling AS Saint-Etienne supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 79' The whistle greets Mathieu Cafaro as he departs to be replaced by Victor Lobry.
