Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Borussia Monchengladbach and Real Madrid CF has kicked off!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Monchengladbach that had 479 games and scored 511 goals.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eden Hazard made 409 appearances and scored 38 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Borussia Monchengladbach is showing some good football. However, Borussia Monchengladbach are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Madrid CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Borussia Monchengladbach started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 33' Goal! Marcus Thuram-Ulien scores his 96 goal in 416 matches.
- 38' The travelling Real Madrid CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 43' 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 Federico Valverde suffering a number of foals already.
- 48' 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.
- 53' It looks surprising Real Madrid CF does not make any changes. Jonas Hofmann has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lars Stindl on 55.
- 58' What a strike from Marcus Thuram-Ulien! The score is 2-0.
- 63' 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.
- 68' Alassane Plea has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' Time for substitution for Real Madrid CF. Vinicius Junior is replaced by Eden Hazard.
- 71' Borussia Monchengladbach manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Patrick Herrmann is hanging Marcus Thuram-Ulien on the field on 71 minute.
- 76' 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.
- 79' Ramy Bensebaini was booked on 79.
- 79' The whistle greets Alassane Plea as he departs to be replaced by Breel Embolo.
- 84' It is a substitution in Real Madrid CF team. Marco Asensio is replaced by Rodrygo on 84 minute.
- 85' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Florian Neuhaus.
- 87' Goal! Karim Benzema scores his 168 goal in 545 matches.
- 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Casemiro.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
