Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at MCH Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The travelling Atalanta BC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Atalanta BC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 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 Aleksei Miranchuk suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' FC Midtjylland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 26' GOAL! Duvan Zapata scores on 26.
  • 31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Atalanta BC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 36' What a strike from Alejandro Gomez! The score is 0-2.
  • 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Christian Romero made 418 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' Goal! Luis Muriel scores his 93 goal in 418 matches.
  • 47' Supporters expect more eagerness from Berat Gjimshiti, as he is very good at scoring at MCH Arena 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' FC Midtjylland is showing some good football. However, FC Midtjylland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 60' FC Midtjylland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Evander is hanging Sory Kaba on the field on 60 minute.
  • 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 68' The whistle greets Luis Muriel as he departs to be replaced by Josip Ilicic.
  • 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Atalanta BC that had 525 games and scored 714 goals.
  • 74' A meaty challenge results in booking for Pione Sisto on 74.
  • 76' Lasse Vibe is replacing Awer Mabil for the FC Midtjylland side.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Aleksei Miranchuk. He replaces Duvan Zapata on 80 minute.
  • 84' Christian Romero was booked on 84.
  • 86' Another substitution for Atalanta BC to replace Christian Romero by Jose Luis Palomino on 86 minute.
  • 87' Bozhidar Kraev is replacing Frank Onyeka for the FC Midtjylland side.
  • 88' GOAL! Aleksei Miranchuk scores on 88. Assisted by Josip Ilicic
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-4.
