Goal Timing (This Season)

Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Europa-Park Stadion!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Julian Schuster might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' SC Freiburg is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vincenzo Grifo on 10.
  • 15' 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 Matthias Ginter suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' It’s high time Julian Schuster made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SC Freiburg and RC Celta de Vigo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 30' The travelling RC Celta de Vigo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 32' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jan-Niklas Beste makes it 2-0.
  • 37' Philipp Treu, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 42' It looks like no one’s ball. RC Celta de Vigo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Another substitution for RC Celta de Vigo to replace Williot Swedberg by Jones El-Abdellaoui on 46 minute.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' Spain international Fer Lopez has been a key figure this campaign — 4 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 61' Another substitution for RC Celta de Vigo to replace Hugo Sotelo by Matias Vecino on 61 minute.
  • 66' SC Freiburg is showing some good football. However, SC Freiburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 71' Over 71 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 73' The RC Celta de Vigo manager makes a substitution. Ferran Jutgla departs to be replaced by Pablo Duran.
  • 74' Derry Scherhant has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vincenzo Grifo on 74 minute.
  • 78' What a moment for Matthias Ginter! That strike on 78 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 83' RC Celta de Vigo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 88' Supporters expect more eagerness from Philipp Lienhart, as he is very good at scoring at Europa-Park Stadion with 5 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 89' Lukas Kubler is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jan-Niklas Beste at the 89 minute mark.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Maximilian Eggestein. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • SC Freiburg celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
