Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Porto kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Porto is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 17' The Brazil Felipe breaks the deadlock on 17 minutes. 0-1!
  • 22' It looks surprising FC Porto does not make any changes. Fernando has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 32' Galatasaray SK are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Porto's shape.
  • 37' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 42' Magnificent from Moussa Marega! That is 45 goals in 499 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 45' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Sofiane Feghouli makes no mistake. 1-2!

  • 46' Henry Onyekuru is replacing Ryan Donk for the Galatasaray SK side.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Galatasaray SK that had 164 games and scored 98 goals.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' What composure from Sergio Oliveira! The Portugal international strokes it home. 2-3.
