Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Chelsea FC gets underway.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Lasse Nielsen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' Malmo FF currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' Magnificent from Ross Barkley! That is 28 goals in 409 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 40' Willian, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' 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 Anders Christiansen suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 55' Malmo FF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Chelsea FC backline.

- 71' Willian makes way for Eden Hazard at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chelsea FC.
- 74' Fresh legs for Chelsea FC! N'Golo Kante comes on to replace Jorginho.
- 79' Malmo FF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
- 80' Magnificent from Anders Christiansen! That is 12 goals in 248 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 82' Anders Christiansen makes way for Romain Gall at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Malmo FF.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Callum Hudson-Odoi. He replaces Pedro on 84 minute.
