Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Red Bull Salzburg and SSC Napoli is underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Red Bull Salzburg that had 222 games and scored 136 goals.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' 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 Takumi Minamino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' Dries Mertens puts SSC Napoli on the lead.
  • 22' FC Red Bull Salzburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
  • 27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cican Stankovic made 222 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' 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.
  • 33' Another change for FC Red Bull Salzburg made on 33 minute. Cican Stankovic leaves to be changed by Carlos Miguel.
  • 38' It’s a booking for SSC Napoli player. Hirving Lozano gets a Yellow card.
  • 39' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kevin Malcuit.
  • 40' What a strike from Erling Haaland! The score is 1-1.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Erling Haaland.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alex Meret, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' FC Red Bull Salzburg is showing some good football. However, FC Red Bull Salzburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' Goal! Dries Mertens scores his 64 goal in 508 matches.
  • 65' The SSC Napoli manager makes a substitution. Hirving Lozano departs to be replaced by Lorenzo Insigne.

  • 80' Eljif Elmas has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jose Callejon on 80 minute.
  • 85' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Kevin Malcuit has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 89' Time for substitution for FC Red Bull Salzburg. Enock Mwepu is replaced by Sekou Koita.
  • 89' It’s a booking for SSC Napoli player. Llorente gets a Yellow card.
