  • 11' Granada CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 16' 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 Darwin Machis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Paul Pogba.
  • 19' Granada CF receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 19.
  • 24' 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.
