Match Events

- 21' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 26' 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 Marcus Rashford suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' GOAL! Nuno Mendes scores on 27. Assisted by Ousmane Dembele
- 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Youri Tielemans made 420 appearances and scored 41 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
