Clermont Foot vs. Montpellier HSC (06.11.2022)

On November 6th, 2022, Clermont Foot hosted Montpellier HSC in what turned out to be a fiercely contested match. The game saw its first moment of tension even before the whistle blew, with Wahbi Khazri of Montpellier receiving a yellow card at the -5-minute mark, indicating a pre-match incident or perhaps an administrative booking.

Ten minutes into the match, Montpellier seized the opportunity to lead when Téji Savanier confidently converted a penalty. This early advantage set the tone for what was to become a nail-biting affair.

As the first half progressed, discipline seemed to lapse with both sides receiving cautions; Nicolas Cozza of Montpellier got booked at the 34th minute mark, followed by Florent Ogier of Clermont Foot receiving his yellow card in the 42nd minute.

Clermont Foot began the second half by shaking things up with a double substitution in the 59th minute, bringing on Y. Magnin and Jérémie Bela, signaling an aggressive pursuit for an equalizer. Their efforts bore fruit three minutes later when K. Andrić found the back of the net with a normal goal, leveling the scoreline.

Montpellier responded by making two substitutions in the 65th minute, introducing F. Maouassa and K. Fayad into the fray. However, they struggled to regain the lead. Another tactical maneuver was seen from Clermont Foot as they brought on S. Khaoui in the 70th minute, and Montpellier made their third substitution a minute after, with W. Khazri making way.

Clermont sealed their resolve with two more substitutions in the 80th minute, bringing off goalscorer K. Andrić for fresh legs while E. Rashani also joined the match, as the host aimed to safeguard their regained momentum. Montpellier made their fourth change in the 84th minute, introducing E. Wahi, but it was too late to overturn the result.

The game concluded with Clermont Foot holding on to their one-goal lead, clinching a critical win over Montpellier HSC. Both teams showed a sense of urgency with their multiple changes, but ultimately it was Clermont's determination and timely goal that secured the three points in front of their home fans.
