Match Events
- 0' We are underway at MCH Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ousmane Diao made 225 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' FC Midtjylland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' It’s high time Sebastien Pocognoli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 18' FC Midtjylland is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ousmane Diao on 18.
- 23' Anan Khalaili was booked on 23.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mads Bech Sorensen, as he is very good at scoring at MCH Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 33' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 38' 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 Noah Sadiki suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 48' 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.
- 49' Ousseynou Niang is having his name booked by the referee on 49.
- 54' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
- 59' It looks surprising Royale Union Saint-Gilloise does not make any changes. Ross Sykes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 63' It is a substitution in FC Midtjylland team. Oliver Sorensen is replaced by Pedro Bravo on 63 minute.
- 64' Franculino Dju has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jan Kuchta on 64 minute.
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Midtjylland that had 225 games and scored 96 goals.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Mikel Johan Gogorza Kruger-Johnsen. He replaces Aral Simsir on 71 minute.
- 76' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 83' The FC Midtjylland manager makes a substitution. Kevin Mbabu departs to be replaced by Victor Bak Jensen.
- 85' Another substitution for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise to replace Mohammed Fuseini by Kamiel Van De Perre on 85 minute.
- 87' Mikel Johan Gogorza Kruger-Johnsen is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
