Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Lincoln Red Imps FC to score. At the same time, Vikingur Gota does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Lincoln Red Imps FC that had 37 games and scored 64 goals.
  • 9' Ragnar Skala is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
  • 14' Vikingur Gota started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 14.
  • 19' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 24' 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 Arnbjorn Svensson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Lincoln Red Imps 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.
  • 34' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Arni Noa Atlason made 44 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' It’s high time Juan Bezares made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' Aron Ellingsgaard is replacing Ragnar Skala for the Vikingur Gota side.
  • 49' The referee calls foul for Stefan Radosavljevic. He receives a card.
  • 54' The travelling Vikingur Gota supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' The whistle greets Kike Gomez as he departs to be replaced by Juanje.
  • 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Lincoln Red Imps FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 64' Time for substitution for Vikingur Gota. Stefan Radosavljevic is replaced by Jorgen Nielsen.
  • 69' Lincoln Red Imps FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vikingur Gota needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 78' Mandi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Toni Garcia on 78 minute.
  • 83' It looks surprising Vikingur Gota does not make any changes. Nauzet Santana has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 84' Time for substitution for Vikingur Gota. Jakup Johansen is replaced by Jonatan Lervig.
  • 89' 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.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Nicholas Pozo. He receives a card.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Jesus Toscano. He replaces Ethan Britto on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Lincoln Red Imps FC players.
