Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds MCH Arena will turn into a battlefield for FC Midtjylland and Fenerbahce SK.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Midtjylland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 10' FC Midtjylland 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.
- 15' FC Midtjylland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Fenerbahce SK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 27' GOAL! Ousmane Diao scores on 27. Assisted by Aral Simsir
- 32' 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 Aral Simsir suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' Joel Andersson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 39' GOAL! Youssef En-Nesyri scores on 39. Assisted by Edin Dzeko

- 67' 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.
