Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Leicester City FC to score. At the same time, Manchester United FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' 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.
- 10' Scott McTominay has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' Leicester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 423 games and scored 696 goals.
- 23' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcus Rashford makes it 0-1.
- 28' With 3 assists to his name this season, Bruno Fernandes is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Leicester City FC.
- 31' What a strike from Harvey Barnes! The score is 1-1.
- 36' Fred is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester United FC so far.
