- 18' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 23' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 23 minutes.
- 28' It’s high time Jorge Maciel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 29' What a strike from Ilyes Hamache! The score is 2-0.
- 34' 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.
- 39' SM Caen 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.

- 72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
