The heaviest match was Dunkerque 4–2 Grenoble with 6 goals. 4 of 9 matches had both clubs scoring, 4 went over 2.5 goals, and 7 clubs failed to score. 6 goals came before half-time and 14 after it; 1 arrived inside the first 15 minutes and 1 after the 75th. The earliest goal of the round came in minute 11, the latest in minute 76. 0 of the 16 goals were penalties and 0 were own goals; the round produced 22 yellow cards and 2 red. The minute-by-minute feed carries 16 of the 20 goals, so every count in this paragraph is a floor, not a total; the scores and half-time scores above are complete.

Where these numbers come from

Our own database, built from the same feed every match here uses. Team figures for 9 of 9 matches, goals and cards by minute for all 9, player-level detail for 9. Crowds and referees are as published for the 0 matches that carry them . Nothing on this page is a projection.

What is missing, stated plainly. the event feed is missing 4 of the 20 goals, so goal minutes, penalties and the scorer table are floors; there is no xG for this division either, so nothing here is a chance-quality judgement; goals are goals; attendance is published for 0 of 9 matches, so there is no average to give.
The rest of the season on the same data: all 18 clubs, their matches and their players · the free season packs.
