Events
Match Events
- 0' Atalanta BC have kicked off against Celtic FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' Atalanta BC have won 714 goals from 525 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 8' That is a card for Celtic FC. Alistair Johnston will be fuming at that decision.
- 13' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 18' Berat Djimsiti is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Celtic FC so far.
- 23' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Atalanta BC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 28' Germany international Nicolas Kuhn has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Auston Trusty, as he is very good at scoring at Gewiss Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 38' Both keepers have barely been tested. Atalanta BC and Celtic FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 43' Celtic FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 48' Ademola Lookman is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Atalanta BC tonight.
- 53' 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 Daizen Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' Alex Valle has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 278 appearances.
- 59' Time for substitution for Atalanta BC. Raoul Bellanova is replaced by Lazar Samardzic.
- 64' The 28-year-old Reo Hatate has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 68' A tactical swap from Celtic FC — Paulo Bernardo on, Reo Hatate off on 68 minutes.
- 69' Another substitution for Atalanta BC to replace Ademola Lookman by Juan Cuadrado on 69 minute.
- 74' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 75' Fresh legs for Celtic FC! Luke McCowan comes on to replace Arne Engels.
- 78' Another change for Atalanta BC made on 78 minute. Sead Kolasinac leaves to be changed by Matteo Ruggeri.
- 81' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Nicolas Kuhn by James Forrest on 81 minute.
- 86' A quiet spell here at Gewiss Stadium. Atalanta BC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
