Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Porto is hosting FC Midtjylland for another epic battle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Sorensen made 225 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jonas Lossl, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Do Dragao with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' 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 Galeno suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' 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.
  • 29' What a strike from Daniel Namaso! The score is 1-0.
  • 34' FC Midtjylland started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
  • 39' Adam Buksa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 44' The travelling FC Midtjylland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 61' Another substitution for FC Midtjylland to replace Edward Chilufya by Valdemar Andreasen on 61 minute.

  • 72' Time for substitution for FC Midtjylland. Elias Olafsson is replaced by Jonas Lossl.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Pedro Bravo. He replaces Adam Gabriel on 77 minute.
  • 82' 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.

  • 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
