Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Manchester United FC gets underway.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' The travelling AZ supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 28' The referee calls foul for Jordy Clasie. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. AZ needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordy Clasie made 322 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' 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.
  • 48' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 53' GOAL! Ashley Young scores on 53. Assisted by Juan Mata
  • 58' GOAL! Mason Greenwood scores on 58.
  • 58' Fredrik Midtsjo was booked on 58.
  • 59' Tahith Chong has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anthony Martial on 59 minute.
  • 62' What a strike from Juan Mata! The score is 3-0.
  • 63' The AZ manager makes a substitution. Dani de Wit departs to be replaced by Ferdy Druijf.
  • 64' Mason Greenwood with the second goal in the match!
  • 68' Phil Jones is replacing Harry Maguire for the Manchester United FC side.
  • 73' 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 Marco Bizot suffering a number of foals already.
  • 77' Time for substitution for AZ. Oussama Idrissi is replaced by Thomas Ouwejan.
  • 82' Ethan Laird was booked on 82.
  • 84' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Teun Koopmeiners.
  • 89' Sergio Romero needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for AZ.
