Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Gewiss Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Atalanta BC and Manchester United FC.
- 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Atalanta BC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 10' The travelling Manchester United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 12' What a moment for Josip Ilicic! That strike on 12 puts his side firmly in control.
- 17' Manchester United 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.
- 22' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 27' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 32' It looks surprising Atalanta BC does not make any changes. Harry Maguire has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 37' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marten de Roon is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Manchester United FC.
- 38' A tactical swap from Manchester United FC — Mason Greenwood on, Raphael Varane off on 38 minutes.
- 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paul Pogba made 409 appearances and scored 34 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' GOAL! Marcus Rashford fires home to make it 1-1!
- 46' The whistle greets Mario Pasalic as he departs to be replaced by Berat Gjimshiti.
- 46' What a strike from Marcus Rashford! The score is 1-2.
- 51' Scott McTominay is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
- 56' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Duvan Zapata makes it 2-2.
- 58' Atalanta BC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Duvan Zapata on 58.
- 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Atalanta BC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 68' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Gian Piero Gasperini will be considering his options from the bench.
- 69' The whistle greets Paul Pogba as he departs to be replaced by Nemanja Matic.
- 71' Fresh legs for Atalanta BC! Luis Muriel comes on to replace Josip Ilicic.
- 76' Joakim Maehle is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Manchester United FC tonight.
- 81' 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 Cristiano Ronaldo suffering a number of foals already.
- 86' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 87' Fresh legs for Manchester United FC! Jadon Sancho comes on to replace Scott McTominay.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
