Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. AS Roma kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' What a strike from Edin Dzeko! The score is 0-1.
  • 7' Another substitution for AS Roma to replace Bryan Cristante by Bruno Peres on 7 minute.
  • 12' 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.
  • 17' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Braga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 27' AS Roma is showing some good football. However, AS Roma are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 32' Ricardo Esgaio was booked on 32.
  • 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Gaitan, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Municipal de Braga with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 42' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Roma that had 527 games and scored 607 goals.
  • 47' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 52' Jordan Veretout needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 53' Gonzalo Villar is replacing Roger Ibanez for the AS Roma side.
  • 54' The referee shows Sporting Clube de Braga player a Red card on 54.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Jose Carlos. He replaces Nicolas Gaitan on 57 minute.
  • 62' Sporting Clube de Braga manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lucas Piazon is hanging Ricardo Horta on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Galeno made 324 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 69' AS Roma manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Borja Mayoral is hanging Edin Dzeko on the field on 69 minute.
  • 74' It looks surprising Sporting Clube de Braga does not make any changes. Borja Mayoral has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 79' AS Roma 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.
  • 84' It’s high time Paulo Fonseca made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 86' GOAL! Borja Mayoral scores on 86. Assisted by Jordan Veretout
  • 89' The referee calls foul for Raul Silva. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 90' Gianluca Mancini is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sporting Clube de Braga.
