Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC København gets underway.
- 5' FC København is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Galatasaray SK needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' Baris Yilmaz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. FC København is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Galatasaray SK is showing some good football. However, Galatasaray SK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 37' The referee calls foul for Elias Jelert Kristensen. He receives a Yellow card.
- 42' It’s high time Jacob Neestrup made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Wilfried Zaha, as he is very good at scoring at Parken with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 52' 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.
- 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Davinson Sanchez made 385 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' Goal! Lukas Lerager scores his 8 goal in 391 matches.
- 61' The Galatasaray SK manager makes a substitution. Tete departs to be replaced by Hakim Ziyech.
- 65' Another change for Galatasaray SK made on 65 minute. Wilfried Zaha leaves to be changed by Cedric Bakambu.
- 67' Andreas Cornelius is replacing Diogo Goncalves for the FC Kobenhavn side.
- 72' It looks surprising FC København does not make any changes. Angelino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 81' Another substitution for FC Kobenhavn to replace Elias Achouri by Nicolai Boilesen on 81 minute.
