0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for FC Luzern and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona.
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
10' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is showing some good football. However, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
12' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tsiy Ndenge on 12.
14' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
19' The travelling RCD Espanyol de Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
24' 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 Matias Vargas suffering a number of foals already.
27' Blessing Eleke was booked on 27.
28' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is taking the lead after the goal scored by Facundo Ferreyra on 28.
33' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
38' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona 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.
43' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
48' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
53' It looks like no one’s ball. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
58' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
59' GOAL! Didac Vila scores on 59. Assisted by Adria Pedrosa
60' Goal! Didac Vila scores his 2 goal in 286 matches.
61' Another change for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona made on 61 minute. Marc Roca leaves to be changed by Sergi Darder.

78' Another change for FC Luzern made on 78 minute. Shkelqim Demhasaj leaves to be changed by Francesco Margiotta.
83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Idriz Voca made 6 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
88' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
89' Goal! Matias Vargas scores his 12 goal in 162 matches.
89' Eric Tia has so much to prove this time. He replaces Blessing Eleke on 89 minute.
