Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. SC Freiburg is hosting RC Celta de Vigo for another epic battle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RC Celta de Vigo that had 320 games and scored 375 goals.
  • 10' SC Freiburg is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vincenzo Grifo on 10.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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 Jordy Makengo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' SC Freiburg looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jan-Niklas Beste scoring 1 goals.
  • 32' Goal! Jan-Niklas Beste scores his 11 goal in 414 matches.
  • 37' RC Celta de Vigo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 46' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jones El-Abdellaoui is hanging Williot Swedberg on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks surprising RC Celta de Vigo does not make any changes. Matias Vecino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' 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.
  • 61' RC Celta de Vigo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matias Vecino is hanging Hugo Sotelo on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' It’s high time Claudio made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' RC Celta de Vigo is showing some good football. However, RC Celta de Vigo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 73' Time for substitution for RC Celta de Vigo. Ferran Jutgla is replaced by Pablo Duran.
  • 74' The SC Freiburg manager makes a substitution. Vincenzo Grifo departs to be replaced by Derry Scherhant.
  • 78' What a strike from Matthias Ginter! The score is 3-0.
  • 83' Ionut Radu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 88' 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.
  • 89' Lukas Kubler has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jan-Niklas Beste on 89 minute.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Maximilian Eggestein. He receives a card.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SC Freiburg players.
