Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. VfB Stuttgart kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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.
  • 6' GOAL! Bradley Barcola scores on 6. Assisted by Desire Doue
  • 11' The travelling Paris Saint-Germain FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 16' 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.
  • 17' What a strike from Ousmane Dembele! The score is 0-2.
  • 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. VfB Stuttgart needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 27' Paris Saint-Germain FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 32' 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 Kang-in Lee suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' GOAL! Ousmane Dembele scores on 35. Assisted by Joao Neves
  • 40' Warren Zaire-Emery has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 54' Ousmane Dembele makes a hat-trick on 54.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Kang-in Lee has so much to prove this time. He replaces Desire Doue on 60 minute.
  • 65' Desire Doue needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 66' It’s gonna be a card for Joao Neves.
  • 70' That looks like a foul for a card for Atakan Karazor.
  • 70' Another change for Paris Saint-Germain FC made on 70 minute. Achraf Hakimi leaves to be changed by Fabian Ruiz.
  • 71' The VfB Stuttgart manager makes a substitution. Angelo Stiller departs to be replaced by Fabian Rieder.
