Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. AS Monaco FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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 Youri Tielemans suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Abdou Diallo made 521 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 25' Borussia Dortmund currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Borussia Dortmund must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' The travelling AS Monaco FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Thomas Delaney has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 521 appearances.
- 45' Danijel Subasic is ready to make an impact after coming on for Diego Benaglio at the 45 minute mark.
- 46' Another substitution for BV Borussia 09 Dortmund to replace Marius Wolf by Jacob Bruun Larsen on 46 minute.
- 51' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jacob Bruun Larsen makes it 0-1.
- 56' Borussia Dortmund are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against AS Monaco FC's shape.
- 61' Ivory Coast international Jean-Eudes Aholou has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 65' BV Borussia 09 Dortmund make a change. Thomas Delaney trudges off to be replaced by Julian Weigl on 65 minutes.
- 70' Fresh legs for AS Monaco FC! Samuel Grandsir comes on to replace Moussa Sylla.
- 72' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Paco Alcacer makes it 0-2.
- 77' Nacer Chadli is ready to make an impact after coming on for Aleksandr Golovin at the 77 minute mark.
- 82' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 84' The BV Borussia 09 Dortmund manager makes a substitution. Jadon Sancho departs to be replaced by Maximilian Philipp.
- 89' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Monaco FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' Against the run of play, Marco Reus has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
