Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Club Brugge KV gets underway.
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Club Brugge KV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' Christos Tzolis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Erling Haaland made 83 appearances and scored 250 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 436 games and scored 1020 goals.
  • 45' Raphael Onyedika puts Club Brugge KV on the lead.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Manchester City FC team. Ilkay Gundogan is replaced by Savio on 46 minute.
  • 51' Club Brugge KV 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.
  • 53' Goal! Mateo Kovacic scores his 15 goal in 409 matches.
  • 55' Manchester City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 60' 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 Manuel Akanji suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' What a strike from Joel Ordonez! The score is 1-2.
  • 67' Bernardo Silva needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 70' Another substitution for Club Brugge KV to replace Chemsdine Talbi by Michal Skoras on 70 minute.
