Match Events
- 0' The game is set. RCD Espanyol de Barcelona kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The travelling Real Zaragoza supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jose Gragera, as he is very good at scoring at RCDE Stadium with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
- 20' It looks surprising RCD Espanyol de Barcelona does not make any changes. Jofre Carreras Pages has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' 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 Brian Olivan suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Oscar Gil Regano is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
- 32' Real Zaragoza is showing some good football. However, Real Zaragoza are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 37' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alejandro Frances made 184 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' Omar El Hilali is replacing Oscar Gil Regano for the RCD Espanyol de Barcelona side.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 69' The Real Zaragoza manager makes a substitution. Maikel Mesa departs to be replaced by Sergio Bermejo.
- 72' Another substitution for Real Zaragoza to replace Victor Mollejo by Manu Vallejo on 72 minute.
- 73' What an equalizer from Manu Vallejo!
- 78' RCD Espanyol de Barcelona 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.
- 83' 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.
- 85' A meaty challenge results in booking for Marc Aguado on 85.
