Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Dundalk FC and Molde FK has kicked off!
  • 5' 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 Fredrik Aursnes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Erling Knudtzon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 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.
  • 20' Molde FK player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 25' Dundalk FC is showing some good football. However, Dundalk FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Dundalk 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.
  • 35' Goal! Sean Murray scores his 3 goal in 87 matches.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Dundalk FC that had 87 games and scored 19 goals.
  • 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Darragh Leahy, as he is very good at scoring at Oriel Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' Molde FK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 62' Goal! Etzaz Hussain scores his 4 goal in 83 matches.

  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcus Pedersen made 83 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
