  • 5' Otavio Ataide needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 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' The travelling FC Porto supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marko Grujic made 464 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jorge Sanchez, as he is very good at scoring at Emirates Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' Arsenal 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.
  • 39' It’s gonna be a card for William Saliba.
  • 41' Goal! Leandro Trossard scores his 90 goal in 316 matches.
  • 46' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Martin Odegaard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 56' 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.
  • 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
