Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Celtic FC and FC Bayern München has kicked off!
- 5' FC Bayern München started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Leon Goretzka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 53 appearances with only 4 goals this season.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Kuhn, as he is very good at scoring at Celtic Park with 10 goals in the last 8 games.
- 30' It’s high time Vincent Kompany made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Celtic FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' GOAL! Michael Olise scores on 45. Assisted by Dayot Upamecano
- 49' GOAL! Harry Kane scores on 49. Assisted by Joshua Kimmich
- 54' 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 Serge Gnabry suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hiroki Ito made 278 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 64' Another substitution for FC Bayern Munchen to replace Leroy Sane by Kingsley Coman on 64 minute.
- 65' Serge Gnabry has so much to prove this time. He replaces Michael Olise on 65 minute.
- 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 75' FC Bayern München 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.
- 77' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Nicolas Kuhn is replaced by Hyun-jun Yang on 77 minute.
- 78' It is a substitution in FC Bayern Munchen team. Raphael Guerreiro is replaced by Hiroki Ito on 78 minute.
- 79' What a strike from Daizen Maeda! The score is 1-2.
- 84' 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.
- 87' Thomas Muller is replacing Jamal Musiala for the FC Bayern Munchen side.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
