- 0' Welcome to St James' Park that hosts another battle between Newcastle United FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC.
- 5' Paris Saint-Germain FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Newcastle United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' 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 Anthony Gordon suffering a number of foals already.
- 17' Miguel Almiron puts Newcastle United FC on the lead.
- 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Newcastle United FC that had 339 games and scored 448 goals.
- 32' Paris Saint-Germain FC looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sandro Tonali made 114 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 45' The referee shows Newcastle United FC player a Yellow card on 45.
- 50' GOAL! Sean Longstaff scores on 50.
- 55' 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.
- 56' Goal! Lucas Hernandez scores his 7 goal in 523 matches.
- 57' Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bradley Barcola is hanging Randal Kolo Muani on the field on 57 minute.
- 62' It looks surprising Newcastle United FC does not make any changes. Bradley Barcola has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
