Events

Match Events

  • 6' Goal! Neymar Jr. scores his 110 goal in 520 matches.
  • 11' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Paris Saint-Germain FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 16' 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.
  • 21' Alessandro Florenzi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 23' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Fred.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 409 games and scored 674 goals.
  • 32' GOAL! Marcus Rashford scores on 32. Assisted by Aaron Wan-Bissaka
  • 37' 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.
  • 38' Leandro Paredes is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
  • 43' Paris Saint-Germain FC is showing some good football. However, Paris Saint-Germain FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 48' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alex Telles, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 1 goals in the last 1 games.

  • 69' What a strike from Marquinhos! The score is 1-2.

  • 79' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 79 minute. Edinson Cavani leaves to be changed by Donny van de Beek.
  • 84' 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 Scott McTominay suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
