Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. FC Viktoria Plzen is hosting AS Roma for another epic battle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The travelling AS Roma supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Roma that had 527 games and scored 607 goals.
  • 20' It looks surprising AS Roma does not make any changes. Patrik Hrosovsky has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 22' David Limbersky is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
  • 27' FC Viktoria Plzen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 32' FC Viktoria Plzen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ales Cermak made 150 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Viktoria Plzen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 47' It’s high time Pavel Vrba made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 52' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 59' It is a substitution in AS Roma team. Javier Pastore is replaced by Nicolo Zaniolo on 59 minute.
  • 62' Jan Kovarik puts FC Viktoria Plzen on the lead.
  • 67' 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 Nicolo Zaniolo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' What an equalizer from Cengiz Under!
  • 71' Another change for FC Viktoria Plzen made on 71 minute. Jan Kopic leaves to be changed by Milan Petrzela.
