Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: GNK Dinamo Zagreb gets underway.
- 5' Jorginho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 61 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 7' What a strike from Bruno Petkovic! The score is 0-1.
- 12' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 17' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Armando Broja has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 18' GOAL! Raheem Sterling scores on 18.
- 22' Josip Misic is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
- 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Chelsea FC that had 409 games and scored 654 goals.
- 30' Goal! Denis Zakaria scores his 25 goal in 479 matches.
- 35' It’s high time Ante Cacic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' Chelsea FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
- 44' 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 Azpilicueta suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' Chelsea FC is showing some good football. However, Chelsea FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 54' GNK Dinamo Zagreb receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 54.
- 59' Chelsea FC 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.
- 64' It is a substitution in Chelsea FC team. Kai Havertz is replaced by Conor Gallagher on 64 minute.
- 65' Another substitution for Chelsea FC to replace Kalidou Koulibaly by Thiago Silva on 65 minute.
- 70' The GNK Dinamo Zagreb manager makes a substitution. Stefan Ristovski departs to be replaced by Mahir Emreli.
- 71' The Chelsea FC manager makes a substitution. Denis Zakaria departs to be replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
- 76' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
- 83' The whistle greets Raheem Sterling as he departs to be replaced by Christian Pulisic.
- 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 89' The referee shows GNK Dinamo Zagreb player a Yellow card on 89.
- 89' The supporters are chanting for Dario Spikic. He replaces Mislav Orsic on 89 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
