Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Villarreal CF that had 407 games and scored 555 goals.
  • 10' SK Rapid Wien is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' SK Rapid Wien started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' SK Rapid Wien is showing some good football. However, SK Rapid Wien are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christopher Dibon, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' SK Rapid Wien 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.
  • 43' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Santiago Caseres.
  • 45' Villarreal CF player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' Another substitution for Villarreal CF to replace Daniele Bonera by Ramiro Funes Mori on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks surprising SK Rapid Wien does not make any changes. Nicola Sansone has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ramiro Funes Mori made 407 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 72' 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 Marvin Potzmann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Stefan Schwab.
  • 75' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Dani Raba is replaced by Pablo Fornals on 75 minute.
