Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Leicester City FC gets underway.
  • 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' Almoatasembellah Ali needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' 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 Nicolas Gaitan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' What a strike from Kelechi Iheanacho! The score is 1-0.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. David Carmo made 428 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Sporting Clube de Braga is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Braga are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 43' Leicester City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ricardo Esgaio on 45.
  • 47' Kelechi Iheanacho with the second goal in the match!
  • 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 57' Luke Thomas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 62' Wes Morgan is replacing Marc Albrighton for the Leicester City FC side.
  • 67' What a strike from Dennis Praet! The score is 3-0.
  • 69' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kelechi Iheanacho.
  • 71' Another substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga to replace Galeno by Moura on 71 minute.
  • 72' Harvey Barnes is replacing Youri Tielemans for the Leicester City FC side.
  • 77' Leicester City 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.
  • 78' Goal! James Maddison scores his 70 goal in 354 matches.
  • 83' 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.
  • 88' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
