Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Sport Lisboa e Benfica to score. At the same time, Olympique de Marseille does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sport Lisboa e Benfica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 16' What a strike from Rafa Silva! The score is 1-0.
- 18' Sport Lisboa e Benfica receives a card for a hard tackle on 18.
- 23' Anatolii Trubin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Neves made 455 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sport Lisboa e Benfica that had 455 games and scored 680 goals.
- 38' Olympique de Marseille 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' 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' Time for substitution for Olympique de Marseille. Quentin Merlin is replaced by Iliman Ndiaye.
- 50' Sport Lisboa e Benfica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
- 52' What a strike from Angel di Maria! The score is 2-0.
- 54' It is a substitution in Olympique de Marseille team. Faris Moumbagna is replaced by Azzedine Ounahi on 54 minute.
- 59' The travelling Olympique de Marseille supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 64' 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 Iliman Ndiaye suffering a number of foals already.
- 67' Goal! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores his 129 goal in 396 matches.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Emran Soglo. He replaces Chancel Mbemba on 67 minute.
- 71' The whistle greets David Neres as he departs to be replaced by Joao Mario.
- 76' It looks surprising Sport Lisboa e Benfica does not make any changes. Faris Moumbagna has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 81' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordan Veretout, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio da Luz with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- Another three points for Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
