Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
  • 5' Matheus Cunha needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 36 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' It looks surprising Manchester United FC does not make any changes. Romeo Lavia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' 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.
  • 16' The whistle greets Estevao as he departs to be replaced by Alejandro Garnacho.
  • 21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Manchester United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 25.
  • 30' Manchester United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 409 games and scored 674 goals.

  • 43' Matheus Cunha puts Manchester United FC on the lead.

  • 58' 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.
  • 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 68' 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.
  • 73' It’s high time Liam Rosenior made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 78' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
