Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Manchester United FC and AC Milan has kicked off!
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Manchester United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Nemanja Matic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 38 Yellow cards this season.
  • 11' AC Milan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Franck Kessie on 11.
  • 16' Manchester United 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.

  • 19' It’s a booking for AC Milan player. Alexis Saelemaekers gets a Yellow card.
  • 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 Diogo Dalot suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Brahim Diaz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rafael Leao made 466 appearances and scored 78 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
