Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Malmo FF is hosting Galatasaray SK for another epic battle.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joakim Persson, as he is very good at scoring at Eleda Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' 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 Elias Jelert Kristensen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Malmo FF are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Galatasaray SK backline.
  • 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Malmo FF and Galatasaray SK are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 24' GOAL! Erik Botheim fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 29' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 52' Lucas Torreira has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 52.
  • 56' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yunus Akgun makes it 1-2.
  • 61' 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.

  • 70' Malmo FF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
