  • 7' Olympique de Marseille player sees a card in front of him.
  • 12' Olympique de Marseille started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
  • 17' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Panathinaikos AO that had 26 games and scored 23 goals.
  • 18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tin Jedvaj on 18.
  • 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' It’s gonna be a card for Alberto Brignoli.
  • 30' Iliman Ndiaye is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Olympique de Marseille tonight.
  • 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' Panathinaikos AO come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 45' 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 Georgios Vagiannidis suffering a number of foals already.

  • 47' The whistle greets Benjamin Verbic as he departs to be replaced by Sebastian Palacios.

  • 63' The Panathinaikos AO bench stirs into life. Filip Duricic is withdrawn and Fotis Ioannidis gets his opportunity.
  • 67' Poor challenge from Georgios Vagiannidis. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 69' Olympique de Marseille manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matteo Guendouzi is hanging Iliman Ndiaye on the field on 69 minute.
  • 70' The whistle greets Juankar as he departs to be replaced by Filip Mladenovic.
  • 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Panathinaikos AO needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 80' Time for substitution for Olympique de Marseille. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is replaced by Vitinha.
  • 85' The 31-year-old Pau Lopez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 88' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Daniel Mancini.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Ruben Perez.
