Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. CD Leganes host RCD Espanyol de Barcelona — let the battle begin!
  • 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 30-year-old Dani Raba has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 20' 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 Munir El Haddadi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' CD Leganes seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Antoniu Roca, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Municipal de Butarque with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' Seydouba Cisse doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 38' CD Leganes started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 41' Yan Diomande doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 46' Alvaro Tejero is replacing Fernando Calero for the RCD Espanyol de Barcelona side.
  • 48' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona receives a card for a hard tackle on 48.
  • 53' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 58' CD Leganes currently sit 19 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 61' Poor challenge from Dani Raba. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 62' Antoniu Roca has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jofre Carreras Pages on 62 minute.
  • 63' Goal! Marash Kumbulla scores his 9 goal in 271 matches.
  • 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carlos Romero made 415 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 72' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona make a change. Roberto Fernandez trudges off to be replaced by Pere Milla on 72 minutes.
  • 73' Leandro Cabrera is having his name booked by the referee on 73.
  • 74' The CD Leganes manager makes a substitution. Dani Raba departs to be replaced by Oscar.
  • 79' A goal from the Uruguay international Leandro Cabrera! He fires home on 79 to make it 2-2!
  • 80' A change in the CD Leganes ranks — Yvan Neyou exits the field as Darko Brasanac enters on 80.
  • 85' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 89' CD Leganes ring the changes. Diego Garcia has done his job and it is now time for Miguel to step up.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 3-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
