Goal Timing (This Season)
Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Borussia Dortmund gets underway.
- 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' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' Karim Adeyemi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Borussia Dortmund is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Dortmund that had 521 games and scored 798 goals.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sporting Clube de Portugal needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Portugal. Joao Simoes is replaced by Zeno Debast.
- 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 46' Borussia Dortmund manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maximilian Beier is hanging Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Sporting Clube de Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 56' Afonso Moreira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Goncalo Inacio on 56 minute.
- 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sehrou Guirassy made 398 appearances and scored 126 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 66' Afonso Moreira has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 69' The Borussia Dortmund manager makes a substitution. Julian Brandt departs to be replaced by Gio Reyna.
- 74' That looks like a foul for a card for Marcel Sabitzer.
- 79' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 84' Another substitution for Sporting Clube de Portugal to replace Geovany Quenda by Lucas Anjos on 84 minute.
- 89' The Borussia Dortmund manager makes a substitution. Karim Adeyemi departs to be replaced by Ramy Bensebaini.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
