Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Real Madrid CF to score. At the same time, Sporting Clube de Braga does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 4' Real Madrid CF receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 4.
  • 5' Lucas Vazquez was booked on 5.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sikou Niakate, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sporting Clube de Braga needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 27' What a strike from Brahim Diaz! The score is 1-0.
  • 32' Abel Ruiz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 37' 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' Real Madrid CF 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.
  • 47' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 52' It looks surprising Real Madrid CF does not make any changes. Nacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 58' What a strike from Vinicius Junior! The score is 2-0.
  • 61' What a strike from Rodrygo! The score is 3-0.
  • 62' Another substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga to replace Ricardo Horta by Abel Ruiz on 62 minute.
  • 67' It looks like no one’s ball. Real Madrid CF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 73' Real Madrid CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dani Carvajal is hanging Lucas Vazquez on the field on 73 minute.
  • 74' Real Madrid CF manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Luka Modric is hanging Brahim Diaz on the field on 74 minute.
  • 77' Andre Horta has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bruma on 77 minute.
  • 82' Real Madrid CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 82.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Real Madrid CF team. Ferland Mendy is replaced by Fran Garcia on 84 minute.
  • 89' 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 Ferland Mendy suffering a number of foals already.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-0.
