Events

Match Events

  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RCD Espanyol de Barcelona that had 293 games and scored 335 goals.
  • 20' Diego Lopez is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona tonight.
  • 25' Serbia international Njegos Petrovic has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 30' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 33' Another substitution for Granada CF to replace Luis Milla by Yan Eteki on 33 minute.
