  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Sport Lisboa e Benfica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 10' It’s high time Franck Haise made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 18' GOAL! Fredrik Aursnes scores on 18. Assisted by Andreas Schjelderup
  • 23' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 27' Goal! Andreas Schjelderup scores his 6 goal in 6 matches.
  • 32' The travelling OGC Nice supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 62' OGC Nice is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
