Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Boras Arena will turn into a battlefield for IF Elfsborg and OGC Nice.
  • 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 13' Terry Yegbe is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
  • 18' It looks surprising OGC Nice does not make any changes. Gottfrid Rapp has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' Jalal Abdulai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 28' 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 Sebastian Holmen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' IF Elfsborg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 48' IF Elfsborg is showing some good football. However, IF Elfsborg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 53' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. OGC Nice needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' Sofiane Diop needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 62' Goal! Gustav Henriksson scores his 1 goal in 14 matches.
  • 67' Time for substitution for OGC Nice. Melvin Bard is replaced by Ali El Abdi.
  • 72' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Isak Pettersson made 6 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 75' Another change for OGC Nice made on 75 minute. Yael Nandjou leaves to be changed by Youssouf Ndayishimiye.
  • 78' It is a substitution in IF Elfsborg team. Arber Zeneli is replaced by Rami Kaib on 78 minute.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Per Frick. He replaces Jalal Abdulai on 83 minute.
  • 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering OGC Nice that had 442 games and scored 370 goals.
