  • 10' It’s high time Francesco Calzona made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' What a strike from Fermin Lopez! The score is 1-0.
  • 17' Goal! Joao Cancelo scores his 16 goal in 519 matches.

  • 44' FC Barcelona player sees a card in front of him.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Juan Jesus. He receives a card.
  • 50' 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 Matteo Politano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Another substitution for FC Barcelona to replace Fermin Lopez by Sergi Roberto on 60 minute.

  • 83' GOAL! Robert Lewandowski scores on 83. Assisted by Sergi Roberto
