Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Deportivo Alaves kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' The 44-year-old Diego Lopez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 19' What a strike from Adria Pedrosa! The score is 1-0.
  • 21' Naldo picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 26' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RCD Espanyol de Barcelona and Deportivo Alaves are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 28' Another substitution for RCD Espanyol de Barcelona to replace Roberto Rosales by Javi Lopez on 28 minute.
  • 33' Victor Sanchez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 38' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 39' That is a Yellow card for Deportivo Alaves. Ruben Duarte will be fuming at that decision.
  • 44' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 47' What composure from Laguardia! The Spain international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 52' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marc Roca, as he is very good at scoring at RCDE Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 53' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sergi Darder.
  • 56' Jonathan Calleri doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 61' It looks like no one’s ball. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Sergio Garcia. He replaces Wu Lei on 63 minute.
  • 68' The whistle greets Borja Baston as he departs to be replaced by Diego Rolan.
  • 73' 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 Mubarak Wakaso suffering a number of foals already.
  • 78' Deportivo Alaves is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' The referee shows Deportivo Alaves player a Yellow card on 79.
  • 79' Patrick Twumasi gets the nod from Deportivo Alaves. He replaces Takashi Inui and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' Marc Roca picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 85' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona make a change. Oscar Melendo trudges off to be replaced by Oscar Duarte on 85 minutes.
  • 90' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from RCD Espanyol de Barcelona to claim maximum points.
