Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds MCH Arena will turn into a battlefield for FC Midtjylland and SS Lazio.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' The travelling SS Lazio supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Stefan Radu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kristoffer Olsson, as he is very good at scoring at MCH Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' 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.
- 26' Paulinho puts FC Midtjylland on the lead.
- 27' Goal! Paulinho scores his 2 goal in 325 matches.
- 30' GOAL! Sory Kaba scores on 30. Assisted by Anders Dreyer
- 35' 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.
- 40' FC Midtjylland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 45' 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 Mario Gila suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' 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.
- 52' What a strike from Evander! The score is 4-0.
- 53' The SS Lazio manager makes a substitution. Stefan Radu departs to be replaced by Adam Marusic.
- 55' FC Midtjylland receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
- 57' GOAL! Sergej Milinkovic-Savic scores on 57.
- 61' The referee calls foul for Jonas Lossl. He receives a Yellow card.
- 62' The whistle greets Emiliano Martinez as he departs to be replaced by Charles Matos.
- 67' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 68' What a strike from Gustav Isaksen! The score is 5-1.
- 69' Marcos Antonio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danilo Cataldi on 69 minute.
- 70' Alessio Romagnoli is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
- 72' GOAL! Erik Sviatchenko scores on 72. Assisted by Evander
- 76' The SS Lazio manager makes a substitution. Ciro Immobile departs to be replaced by Luka Romero.
- 77' The FC Midtjylland manager makes a substitution. Gustav Isaksen departs to be replaced by Edward Chilufya.
- 82' It looks surprising SS Lazio does not make any changes. Matteo Cancellieri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 87' Another change for FC Midtjylland made on 87 minute. Sory Kaba leaves to be changed by Valdemar Andreasen.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Midtjylland players.
