  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Arsenal FC and Dundalk FC has kicked off!
  • 5' Dundalk FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Dundalk FC that had 87 games and scored 19 goals.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sean Murray made 87 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Dundalk FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' The travelling Dundalk FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' What a strike from Eddie Nketiah! The score is 1-0.
  • 44' GOAL! Joe Willock scores on 44.
  • 46' GOAL! Nicolas Pepe scores on 46.
  • 46' The whistle greets Sean Murray as he departs to be replaced by Greg Sloggett.
  • 51' 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.
  • 53' The whistle greets Patrick McEleney as he departs to be replaced by Jordan Flores.
  • 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Reiss Nelson, as he is very good at scoring at Emirates Stadium with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
  • 61' Another substitution for Arsenal FC to replace Shkodran Mustafi by Dani Ceballos on 61 minute.
  • 62' Time for substitution for Arsenal FC. Nicolas Pepe is replaced by Willian.
  • 67' Chris Shields needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 70' Another substitution for Dundalk FC to replace Michael Duffy by Stefan Colovic on 70 minute.
  • 74' Time for substitution for Arsenal FC. Granit Xhaka is replaced by Kieran Tierney.
  • 79' It looks surprising Dundalk FC does not make any changes. Greg Sloggett has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 84' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 89' 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 Mohamed El Neny suffering a number of foals already.
  • The final score is 3-0.
