Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Parken!
- 5' FC Kobenhavn have won 79 goals from 105 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rasmus Falk is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Galatasaray SK.
- 15' Denmark international Peter Ankersen has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Elias Jelert Kristensen, as he is very good at scoring at Parken with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' 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 Kevin Diks suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Galatasaray SK are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 35' Galatasaray SK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' That is a Yellow card for FC Kobenhavn. Elias Jelert Kristensen will be fuming at that decision.
- 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Galatasaray SK that had 163 games and scored 98 goals.
- 47' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 47 minutes.
- 52' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

- 58' Against the run of play, Lukas Lerager has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 61' Hakim Ziyech gets the nod from Galatasaray SK. He replaces Tete and will look to change the dynamic.
- 65' Cedric Bakambu is replacing Wilfried Zaha for the Galatasaray SK side.
- 67' FC Kobenhavn manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Andreas Cornelius is hanging Diogo Goncalves on the field on 67 minute.
- 72' FC Kobenhavn is showing some good football. However, FC Kobenhavn are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 77' The whistle greets Lucas Torreira as he departs to be replaced by Sergio Oliveira.
- 81' Fresh legs for FC Kobenhavn! Nicolai Boilesen comes on to replace Elias Achouri.
- 85' It’s a booking for FC Kobenhavn player. Lukas Lerager gets a Yellow card.
