Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Groupama Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Adam Karabec, as he is very good at scoring at Groupama Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 7' Andreas Vindheim is replacing Ondrej Celustka for the AC Sparta Praha side.
- 12' It looks surprising AC Sparta Praha does not make any changes. Lukas Haraslin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 17' 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.
- 22' It looks like no one’s ball. Olympique Lyonnais is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 27' AC Sparta Praha started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
- 32' 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 Henrique suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' David Hancko has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' AC Sparta Praha receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 40.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maxence Caqueret made 413 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' Thiago Mendes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 32 Yellow cards this season.
- 55' It’s high time Peter Bosz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' Olympique Lyonnais 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.
- 61' What a strike from Islam Slimani! The score is 1-0.
- 62' AC Sparta Praha player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 63' What a strike from Islam Slimani! The score is 2-0.
- 63' Ladislav Krejci was booked on 63.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Matej Pulkrab. He replaces Jakub Pesek on 68 minute.
- 69' It is a substitution in Olympique Lyonnais team. Islam Slimani is replaced by Lucas Paqueta on 69 minute.
- 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AC Sparta Praha that had 46 games and scored 61 goals.
- 79' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 81' Another substitution for Olympique Lyonnais to replace Rayan Cherki by Bradley Barcola on 81 minute.
- 82' Adam Karabec has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lukas Haraslin on 82 minute.
- 87' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 87 minutes.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Olympique Lyonnais and AC Sparta Praha (для сухой ничьи).
