Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. SK Sturm Graz kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Monaco FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' It looks surprising SK Sturm Graz does not make any changes. Jusuf Gazibegovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Monaco FC that had 422 games and scored 533 goals.
  • 25' AS Monaco FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eliot Matazo made 422 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' It’s a booking for AS Monaco FC player. Ismail Jakobs gets a Yellow card.
  • 37' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 42' 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.
  • 46' Time for substitution for AS Monaco FC. Ismail Jakobs is replaced by Caio Henrique.
  • 51' Alexander Prass has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' The travelling SK Sturm Graz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Wissam Ben Yedder. He replaces Kevin Volland on 61 minute.
  • 64' Gregory Wuthrich was booked on 64.
  • 66' Krepin Diatta puts AS Monaco FC on the lead.
  • 71' It is a substitution in SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz team. Kelvin Yeboah is replaced by Anderson Niangbo on 71 minute.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Youssouf Fofana. He replaces Eliot Matazo on 72 minute.
  • 77' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Monaco FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 78' The whistle greets Gregory Wuthrich as he departs to be replaced by Niklas Geyrhofer.
  • 83' 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.
  • 88' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AS Monaco FC players.
