Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Manchester City FC gets underway.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' It looks surprising AFC Bournemouth does not make any changes. Evanilson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' 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 Marc Guehi suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' AFC Bournemouth player sees a card in front of him.
- 38' The referee shows AFC Bournemouth player a card on 38.
- 39' GOAL! Eli Kroupi scores on 39.
- 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AFC Bournemouth that had 335 games and scored 441 goals.
- 49' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
- 59' That looks like a foul for a card for James Hill.
- 64' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 69' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcos Senesi, as he is very good at scoring at Vitality Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gianluigi Donnarumma made 515 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 79' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AFC Bournemouth needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 84' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 89' It looks like no one’s ball. AFC Bournemouth is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Justin Kluivert.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
