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 Sporting Clube de Braga for another epic battle.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Hofler, as he is very good at scoring at Europa-Park Stadion with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 6' That looks like a foul for a card for Mario Dorgeles.
- 7' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mario Dorgeles on 7.
- 12' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Noah Atubolu made 493 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 17' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Freiburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 19' Lukas Kubler puts SC Freiburg on the lead.
- 24' SC Freiburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 29' 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 Rodrigo Zalazar suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' SC Freiburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Freiburg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 41' GOAL! Johan Manzambi scores on 41. Assisted by Philipp Treu
- 46' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 51' 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.
- 56' SC Freiburg looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Lukas Kubler scoring 2 goals.
- 61' 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.
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Pau Victor Delgado on 62.
- 65' Sporting Clube de Braga player sees a card in front of him.
- 70' Maximilian Eggestein has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 71' Demir Tiknaz was booked on 71.
- 72' What a strike from Lukas Kubler! The score is 3-0.
- 77' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with SC Freiburg winning 50% of all matches.
- 79' GOAL! Pau Victor Delgado scores on 79. Assisted by Victor Gomez
- 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
- 89' The travelling Sporting Clube de Braga supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 90' Gabriel Martinez was booked on 90.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sporting Clube de Braga.
