Events

Match Events

  • 0' FC Porto have kicked off against AS Roma. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Porto and AS Roma are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' That is a Yellow card for AS Roma. Nicolo Zaniolo will be fuming at that decision.
  • 18' Hector Herrera catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 18.
  • 23' FC Porto 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.
  • 26' Tiquinho has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 26 minutes.
  • 31' Juan is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for AS Roma tonight.
  • 36' Kostas Manolas has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 527 appearances.
  • 37' What an equalizer from Daniele De Rossi!
  • 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Danilo Pereira on 45 minutes.
  • 45' AS Roma manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lorenzo Pellegrini is hanging Daniele De Rossi on the field on 45 minute.
  • 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Bryan Cristante made 527 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' Magnificent from Moussa Marega! That is 45 goals in 491 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 55' It’s a booking for AS Roma player. Rick Karsdorp gets a Yellow card.
  • 55' Alessandro Florenzi is replacing Rick Karsdorp for the AS Roma side.
  • 58' A moment of madness from Edin Dzeko on 58 minutes earns him a Yellow card. AS Roma will be frustrated.
  • 63' Over 63 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 68' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 69' Yacine Brahimi gets the nod from FC Porto. He replaces Jesus Manuel Corona and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 74' The energy levels are beginning to show. Sergio Conceicao might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 77' Time for substitution for AS Roma. Marcano is replaced by Bryan Cristante.
  • 78' Another change for FC Porto made on 78 minute. Tiquinho leaves to be changed by Fernando.
  • 81' The referee calls foul for Lorenzo Pellegrini. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 86' AS Roma fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • Another three points for FC Porto.
