Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Midtjylland kicks off things out of here…
  • 2' Goal! Erik Sviatchenko scores his 7 goal in 225 matches.
  • 7' 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.
  • 12' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 17' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Braga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 21' The referee shows Sporting Clube de Braga player a Yellow card on 21.
  • 26' 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.
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joel Andersson made 225 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' 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.
  • 41' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 43' GOAL! Ricardo Horta scores on 43. Assisted by Iuri Medeiros
  • 48' Goal! Gustav Isaksen scores his 16 goal in 225 matches.
  • 52' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gustav Isaksen on 52.
  • 57' Another substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga to replace Andre Castro by Chiquinho on 57 minute.
  • 62' The travelling Sporting Clube de Braga supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Raphael Nwadike.
  • 69' Supporters expect more eagerness from Wenderson Galeno, as he is very good at scoring at MCH Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Sporting Clube de Braga team. Iuri Medeiros is replaced by Abel Ruiz on 72 minute.
  • 77' 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 Jonas Lossl suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Moura gets a Yellow card.
  • 83' Joel Andersson is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 85' What an equalizer from Wenderson Galeno!
  • 86' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Wenderson Galeno gets a Yellow card.
  • 88' The FC Midtjylland manager makes a substitution. Pione Sisto departs to be replaced by Victor Lind.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Evander.
  • Another three points for FC Midtjylland.
