Events

Match Events

  • 5' The travelling The New Saints FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Jonas Wind needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' 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 Blaine Hudson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Pierre Bengtsson has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' FC København started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.

  • 52' FC Kobenhavn is taking the lead after the goal scored by Zeca on 52.
  • 57' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 59' Lewis Kaye has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adrian Cieslewicz on 59 minute.
  • 60' It is a substitution in FC Kobenhavn team. Jonas Wind is replaced by Carlo Holse on 60 minute.
  • 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. The New Saints FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
