Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Aston Villa FC gets underway.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' It looks surprising FC Bayern München does not make any changes. Kingsley Coman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 21' That looks like a foul for a card for Dayot Upamecano.
- 26' With 0 assists to his name this season, Leroy Sane is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Aston Villa FC.
- 27' Fresh legs for Aston Villa FC! Leon Bailey comes on to replace Jacob Ramsey.
- 32' Jacob Ramsey has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 37' The 29-year-old Youri Tielemans has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 42' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Aston Villa FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 46' The FC Bayern Munchen bench stirs into life. Kingsley Coman is withdrawn and Jamal Musiala gets his opportunity.
- 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.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Aston Villa FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' Ross Barkley gets the nod from Aston Villa FC. He replaces Amadou Onana and will look to change the dynamic.
- 65' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 66' Serge Gnabry picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 66' A tactical swap from FC Bayern Munchen — Leroy Sane on, Michael Olise off on 66 minutes.
- 70' Jhon Duran is replacing Ollie Watkins for the Aston Villa FC side.
- 75' Ollie Watkins has been relatively quiet despite scoring 138 goals in his last 349 appearances.
- 76' Joao Palhinha is ready to make an impact after coming on for Aleksandar Pavlovic at the 76 minute mark.
- 79' What a moment for Jhon Duran! That strike on 79 puts his side firmly in control.
- 84' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 86' Another substitution for FC Bayern Munchen to replace Konrad Laimer by Mathys Tel on 86 minute.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Ian Maatsen. He receives a card.
- Game over. The scoreline of 1-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
