Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Sport Lisboa e Benfica to score. At the same time, Chelsea FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Fredrik Aursnes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 10' It looks surprising Chelsea FC does not make any changes. Romeo Lavia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Sport Lisboa e Benfica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' 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 Reece James suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Chelsea FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Chelsea FC winning 100% of all matches.
- 46' Another substitution for Sport Lisboa e Benfica to replace Andreas Schjelderup by Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu on 46 minute.
- 50' Vangelis Pavlidis was booked on 50.
- 55' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Angel di Maria, as he is very good at scoring at Bank of America Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 61' It’s a booking for Chelsea FC player. Moises Caicedo gets a card.
- 62' The referee calls foul for Florentino. He receives a card.
- 64' GOAL! Reece James scores on 64.
- 69' 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.
- 70' Another change for Chelsea FC made on 70 minute. Benoit Badiashile leaves to be changed by Tosin Adarabioyo.
