Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Lille OSC and Celtic FC has kicked off!
- 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.

- 32' GOAL! Mohamed Elyounoussi scores on 32. Assisted by Jeremie Frimpong
- 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 41' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Benjamin Andre.
- 43' The referee shows Lille OSC player a Yellow card on 43.
