Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Sarpsborg 08 FF gets underway.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' Besiktas JK is showing some good football. However, Besiktas JK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gary Medel on 20.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Sarpsborg 08 FF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Besiktas JK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' It looks surprising Besiktas JK does not make any changes. Rashad Muhammed has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' Amin Askar is having his name booked by the referee on 37.
  • 42' Besiktas JK started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
  • 46' Besiktas JK manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryan Babel is hanging Gokhan Tore on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' Goal! Ryan Babel scores his 11 goal in 33 matches.
  • 56' 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 Caner Erkin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sarpsborg 08 FF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kristoffer Zachariassen made 14 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 69' Goal! Enzo Roco scores his 4 goal in 33 matches.
  • 70' Harmeet Singh has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ole Jorgen Halvorsen on 70 minute.
  • 75' 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.
  • 78' The whistle greets Adem Ljajic as he departs to be replaced by Tolgay Ali Arslan.
  • 81' Another substitution for Sarpsborg 08 FF to replace Rashad Muhammed by Jorgen Larsen on 81 minute.
