Events

Match Events

  • 13' Goal! Jo Inge Berget scores his 13 goal in 286 matches.
  • 14' It’s a booking for FC Lugano player. Fabio Daprela gets a Yellow card.
  • 19' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 29' 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 Jonas Knudsen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' What an equalizer from Guillermo Molins!
  • 37' FC Lugano started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
  • 42' FC Lugano 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.
  • 47' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Malmo FF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 50' GOAL! Alexander Gerndt scores on 50. Assisted by Carlinhos

  • 61' Malmo FF receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 61.

  • 68' Another change for Malmo FF made on 68 minute. Bonke Innocent leaves to be changed by Rasmus Bengtsson.
  • 73' It looks surprising Malmo FF does not make any changes. Noam Baumann has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Malmo FF. Guillermo Molins is replaced by Markus Rosenberg.
  • 79' Filip Holender is replacing Linus Obexer for the FC Lugano side.
  • 81' FC Lugano manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Francisco Rodriguez is hanging Mattia Bottani on the field on 81 minute.
