Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Olympique Lyonnais gets underway.
- 5' 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 Tanner Tessmann suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Manuel Ugarte puts Manchester United FC on the lead.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 18' The referee shows Olympique Lyonnais player a card on 18.
- 23' Olympique Lyonnais started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 23.
- 28' It’s high time Ruben Amorim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 33' 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.
- 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' The travelling Olympique Lyonnais supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' It’s gonna be a card for Corentin Tolisso.
- 46' GOAL! Diogo Dalot scores on 45. Assisted by Harry Maguire
- 46' The whistle greets Noussair Mazraoui as he departs to be replaced by Luke Shaw.
- 51' That looks like a foul for a card for Alejandro Garnacho.
- 55' Time for substitution for Olympique Lyonnais. Jordan Veretout is replaced by Alexandre Lacazette.
- 60' It looks like no one’s ball. Olympique Lyonnais is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 63' It’s a booking for Olympique Lyonnais player. Nicolas Tagliafico gets a card.
- 64' It is a substitution in Olympique Lyonnais team. Georges Mikautadze is replaced by Malick Fofana on 64 minute.
- 69' Olympique Lyonnais is showing some good football. However, Olympique Lyonnais are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 71' Goal! Corentin Tolisso scores his 29 goal in 540 matches.
- 76' Casemiro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 58 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 78' What an equalizer from Nicolas Tagliafico!
- 83' Manchester United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 86' Kobbie Mainoo is replacing Manuel Ugarte for the Manchester United FC side.
- 89' The referee shows Olympique Lyonnais player a card on 89.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Olympique Lyonnais.
