Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. FK Shakhtar Donetsk host AS Roma — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Paulo Fonseca might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Shakhtar Donetsk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Shakhtar Donetsk that had 204 games and scored 101 goals.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Roger Ibanez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 25.
  • 30' 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 Bryan Cristante suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Amadou Diawara, a Guinea , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 38' Marcos Antonio was booked on 38.

  • 57' Rick Karsdorp is having his name booked by the referee on 57.
  • 58' AS Roma ring the changes. Rick Karsdorp has done his job and it is now time for Bruno Peres to step up.
  • 59' Junior Moraes adds to his 0 season tally! FK Shakhtar Donetsk lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 59' The whistle greets Amadou Diawara as he departs to be replaced by Lorenzo Pellegrini.
  • 60' The whistle greets Alan Patrick as he departs to be replaced by Yevhen Konoplianka.
  • 65' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luis Castro will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 70' Supporters expect more eagerness from Carles Perez, as he is very good at scoring at NSK Olimpijs'kyj with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 72' Assisted by Carles Perez with the perfectly-timed delivery and Borja Mayoral makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 75' The AS Roma bench stirs into life. Pedro is withdrawn and Stephan El Shaarawy gets his opportunity.
  • 76' Dentinho is replacing Junior Moraes for the FK Shakhtar Donetsk side.
