Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Manchester United FC gets underway.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stjepan Tomas will be considering his options from the bench.
- 22' The referee has no hesitation. Ibrahim Akanbi is booked for FC Sheriff Tiraspol — Yellow card on 22.
- 27' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Manchester United FC and FC Sheriff Tiraspol are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 32' It’s high time Erik ten Hag made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 37' 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 Ibrahim Akanbi suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' A quiet spell here at Old Trafford. FC Sheriff Tiraspol seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 44' A stunning finish from Diogo Dalot — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 46' The Manchester United FC bench stirs into life. Antony is withdrawn and Marcus Rashford gets his opportunity.
- 51' The travelling FC Sheriff Tiraspol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' Tyrell Malacia has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 61' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Manchester United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 62' Time for substitution for Manchester United FC. Diogo Dalot is replaced by Luke Shaw.
- 63' The referee shows FC Sheriff Tiraspol player a Yellow card on 63.
- 63' Another substitution for Manchester United FC to replace Casemiro by Scott McTominay on 63 minute.
- 64' A moment of madness from Renan Guedes on 64 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Sheriff Tiraspol will be frustrated.
- 65' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcus Rashford makes it 2-0.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Scott McTominay made 415 appearances and scored 40 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' Patrick Kpozo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 70 appearances.
- 79' The FC Sheriff Tiraspol bench stirs into life. Mouhamed Diop is withdrawn and Adrian Hatman gets his opportunity.
- 81' Cristiano Ronaldo has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 81 minutes.
- 85' Harry Maguire catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 85.
- 90' Bruno Fernandes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
- The final score is 3-0.
