Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Porto and AS Roma get this one started.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. AS Roma is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Porto side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' Nicolo Zaniolo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 15.
  • 18' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Hector Herrera.
  • 23' Daniele De Rossi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 26' A stunning finish from Tiquinho — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Porto that had 491 games and scored 697 goals.
  • 36' Robin Olsen has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 37' The deadlock is broken! Daniele De Rossi gets on the scoresheet on 37 minutes.
  • 42' Juan, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Danilo Pereira.
  • 45' The supporters are chanting for Lorenzo Pellegrini. He replaces Daniele De Rossi on 45 minute.

  • 52' What composure from Moussa Marega! The Mali international strokes it home. 2-1.
  • 55' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Rick Karsdorp.
  • 55' A tactical swap from AS Roma — Alessandro Florenzi on, Rick Karsdorp off on 55 minutes.
  • 58' AS Roma receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.
  • 63' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AS Roma needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' FC Porto are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 69' FC Porto make a change. Jesus Manuel Corona trudges off to be replaced by Yacine Brahimi on 69 minutes.
  • 74' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Bryan Cristante. He replaces Marcano on 77 minute.
  • 78' The whistle greets Tiquinho as he departs to be replaced by Fernando.
  • 81' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Lorenzo Pellegrini.
  • 86' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • Full Time. FC Porto beats AS Roma
