Match Events

  • 5' Nikola Vlasic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at RCDE Stadium. PFC CSKA Moskva seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' PFC CSKA Moskva have won 415 goals from 402 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' PFC CSKA Moskva are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona is showing some good football. However, RCD Espanyol de Barcelona are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Iturraspe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against PFC CSKA Moskva's shape.

  • 61' It looks surprising PFC CSKA Moskva does not make any changes. Konstantin Kuchaev has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 77' Poor challenge from Igor Diveev. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 78' The whistle greets Konstantin Kuchaev as he departs to be replaced by Arnor Sigurdsson.
