Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at MetLife Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Chelsea FC 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.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' 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.
  • 18' What a strike from Joao Pedro! The score is 0-1.
  • 23' Fluminense FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 28' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Chelsea FC winning 100% of all matches.
  • 33' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' It looks like no one’s ball. Fluminense FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 43' Chelsea FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Joao Pedro scoring 2 goals.
  • 48' Supporters expect more eagerness from Facundo Bernal, as he is very good at scoring at MetLife Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 53' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 53 minutes.
  • 54' Fluminense FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Everaldo is hanging German Cano on the field on 54 minute.
  • 56' GOAL! Joao Pedro scores on 56. Assisted by Enzo Fernandez
  • 59' Fluminense FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 60' The whistle greets Joao Pedro as he departs to be replaced by Nicolas Jackson.
  • 65' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Christopher Nkunku has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 66' Yeferson Soteldo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nonato on 66 minute.
  • 68' The whistle greets Pedro Neto as he departs to be replaced by Noni Madueke.
  • 70' The supporters are chanting for Lima. He replaces Facundo Bernal on 70 minute.
  • 72' That looks like a foul for a card for Yeferson Soteldo.
  • 73' The referee shows Chelsea FC player a card on 73.
  • 78' Trevoh Chalobah has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 83' Fluminense FC is showing some good football. However, Fluminense FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 86' Chelsea FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kiernan Dewsbury Hall is hanging Christopher Nkunku on the field on 86 minute.
  • Full Time. Chelsea FC beats Fluminense FC
