Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against AC Sparta Praha and Shamrock Rovers FC has kicked off!
  • 2' The referee calls foul for Lukas Sadilek. He receives a card.
  • 7' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 12' Shamrock Rovers FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
  • 17' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' AC Sparta Praha receives a card for a hard tackle on 18.
  • 23' 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 Darragh Burns suffering a number of foals already.
  • 24' The Shamrock Rovers FC manager makes a substitution. Sean Hoare departs to be replaced by Dan Cleary.
  • 26' Shamrock Rovers FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 26.
