Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: SSC Napoli gets underway.
- 5' It’s high time Thomas Tuchel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mario Rui made 508 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 29' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kylian Mbappe.
- 32' Thilo Kehrer is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
- 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SSC Napoli needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 42' 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.
- 45' Paris Saint-Germain FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Juan Bernat on 45.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Fabian Ruiz.
- 47' What a strike from Juan Bernat! The score is 0-2.
- 52' It looks like no one’s ball. Paris Saint-Germain FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 57' It looks surprising SSC Napoli does not make any changes. Neymar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 62' Goal! Lorenzo Insigne scores his 88 goal in 508 matches.
- 67' Paris Saint-Germain FC 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.
- 71' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Piotr Zielinski is hanging Fabian Ruiz on the field on 71 minute.
- 73' Presnel Kimpembe is replacing Thomas Meunier for the Paris Saint-Germain FC side.
- 76' Elseid Hysaj has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nikola Maksimovic on 76 minute.
- 77' The whistle greets Angel di Maria as he departs to be replaced by Edinson Cavani.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSC Napoli that had 508 games and scored 640 goals.
- 83' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adam Ounas is hanging Dries Mertens on the field on 83 minute.
- 88' 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 Julian Draxler suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' The referee shows Paris Saint-Germain FC player a Yellow card on 89.
- 90' Paris Saint-Germain FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
- 90' Maxim Choupo-Moting has so much to prove this time. He replaces Thilo Kehrer on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
