• Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FC Metz gets underway.
  • 4' The referee calls foul for Koffi Kouao. He receives a Yellow card.

  • 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 40' Danley Jean Jacques needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 46' It looks surprising FC Metz does not make any changes. Fali Cande has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
