  • 50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Porto that had 491 games and scored 697 goals.

  • 74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Hector Herrera.
  • 76' GOAL! Nicolo Zaniolo scores on 76. Assisted by Edin Dzeko
