Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Celtic FC kicks off things out of here…
- 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 Josip Stanisic suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 15' Adam Idah has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' The travelling Celtic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 410 games and scored 790 goals.
- 46' Time for substitution for FC Bayern Munchen. Harry Kane is replaced by Kingsley Coman.
- 51' Celtic FC is showing some good football. However, Celtic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Bayern München is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Jota by Adam Idah on 60 minute.
- 63' What a strike from Nicolas Kuhn! The score is 0-1.
- 64' It is a substitution in FC Bayern Munchen team. Serge Gnabry is replaced by Leroy Sane on 64 minute.

- 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Bayern München needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 79' 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.
- 84' It’s high time Vincent Kompany made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 89' It looks surprising FC Bayern München does not make any changes. Auston Trusty has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
