Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Gewiss Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' It’s high time Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 12' Atalanta BC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Josip Ilicic on 12.
- 17' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 27' 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 Remo Freuler suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' The travelling Manchester United FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' Cristiano Ronaldo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 38' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 38 minute. Raphael Varane leaves to be changed by Mason Greenwood.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 409 games and scored 674 goals.
- 45' Goal! Marcus Rashford scores his 118 goal in 409 matches.
- 46' Berat Gjimshiti is replacing Mario Pasalic for the Atalanta BC side.

- 51' Manchester United FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 51.
- 56' What an equalizer from Duvan Zapata!
- 58' GOAL! Duvan Zapata scores on 58. Assisted by Jose Luis Palomino
- 63' 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.
- 68' It looks surprising Manchester United FC does not make any changes. Jadon Sancho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 69' Nemanja Matic is replacing Paul Pogba for the Manchester United FC side.
- 71' Luis Muriel has so much to prove this time. He replaces Josip Ilicic on 71 minute.
- 76' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 76 minutes.
- 81' 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.
- 86' Marten de Roon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 73 Yellow cards this season.
- 87' It is a substitution in Manchester United FC team. Scott McTominay is replaced by Jadon Sancho on 87 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
