Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between PAOK FC and Chelsea FC is underway.
  • 5' 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 Mauricio suffering a number of foals already.
  • 7' Willian puts Chelsea FC on the lead.
  • 12' Davide Zappacosta has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vieirinha made 167 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 22' 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.

  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PAOK FC that had 167 games and scored 59 goals.
  • 47' It looks like no one’s ball. PAOK FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 52' 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.
  • 57' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 62' The PAOK FC manager makes a substitution. Dimitris Pelkas departs to be replaced by Amr Warda.
