Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. SC Freiburg kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks surprising Racing Club de Lens does not make any changes. Nicolas Hofler has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Racing Club de Lens is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 493 games and scored 469 goals.
  • 20' Racing Club de Lens started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Angelo Fulgini has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 28' Goal! David Pereira da Costa scores his 15 goal in 446 matches.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 38' SC Freiburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' SC Freiburg receives a card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 46' The SC Freiburg manager makes a substitution. Jordy Makengo departs to be replaced by Michael Gregoritsch.
  • 47' What a strike from Sepe Elye Wahi! The score is 0-2.
  • 52' 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.
  • 57' 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 Jonathan Gradit suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' That looks like a foul for a card for Lukas Kubler.
  • 65' Przemyslaw Frankowski is having his name booked by the referee on 65.
  • 66' A meaty challenge results in booking for Christian Streich on 66.
  • 67' What a strike from Roland Sallai! The score is 1-2.
  • 67' It’s a booking for Racing Club de Lens player. Florian Sotoca gets a card.
  • 72' 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.
  • 73' Another substitution for Racing Club de Lens to replace Przemyslaw Frankowski by Ruben Aguilar on 73 minute.
  • 78' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 80' The Racing Club de Lens manager makes a substitution. Jhoanner Chavez departs to be replaced by Massadio Haidara.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Salis Abdul Samed made 358 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' The whistle greets Merlin Rohl as he departs to be replaced by Vincenzo Grifo.
  • With this win, SC Freiburg is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
