Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Manchester United FC vs Paris Saint-Germain FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 6' Neymar Jr. adds to his 6 season tally! Paris Saint-Germain FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 11' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 16' Paris Saint-Germain FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 21' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 421 games and scored 689 goals.
  • 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fred on 23.
  • 28' Ander Herrera has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 421 appearances.
  • 32' What a strike from Marcus Rashford! The score is 1-1.
  • 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 Alessandro Florenzi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' A moment of madness from Leandro Paredes on 38 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Paris Saint-Germain FC will be frustrated.
  • 43' Paris Saint-Germain FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 48' Abdou Diallo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 53' 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.
  • 58' Over 58 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 59' The referee calls foul for Marco Verratti. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 64' Paris Saint-Germain FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 65' A change in the Paris Saint-Germain FC ranks — Leandro Paredes exits the field as Ander Herrera enters on 65.
  • 69' A stunning finish from Marquinhos — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 70' It’s a booking for Manchester United FC player. Fred gets a Red card.
  • 74' Paul Pogba has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marcus Rashford on 74 minute.
  • 78' The Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes a substitution. Marco Verratti departs to be replaced by Rafinha.
  • 79' The whistle greets Edinson Cavani as he departs to be replaced by Donny van de Beek.
  • 84' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Manchester United FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 89' Paris Saint-Germain FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 90' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Aaron Wan-Bissaka exits the field as Odion Ighalo enters on 90.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Paris Saint-Germain FC take all three points.
