Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Arsenal Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Qarabag Agdam FK 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.
  • 15' Sokratis Papastathopoulos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 19 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 17' Alexandre Lacazette puts Arsenal FC on the lead.
  • 22' Qarabag Agdam FK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 27' Arsenal FC is showing some good football. However, Arsenal FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 32' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bədavi Huseynov, as he is very good at scoring at Arsenal Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Qarabag Agdam FK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 47' It’s high time Unai Emery made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 52' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 57' 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' The supporters are chanting for Araz Abdullayev. He replaces Michel on 61 minute.
  • 63' Time for substitution for Arsenal FC. Alexandre Lacazette is replaced by Zechariah Medley.
  • 68' 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 Filip Ozobic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' Nacho Monreal has so much to prove this time. He replaces Laurent Koscielny on 72 minute.
  • 75' Dani Quintana has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mahir Mədətov on 75 minute.

  • 85' It is a substitution in Qarabag Agdam FK team. Jakub Rzezniczak is replaced by Filip Ozobic on 85 minute.
  • 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Qarabag Agdam FK that had 252 games and scored 141 goals.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Arsenal FC players.
