Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for West Ham United FC to score. At the same time, SC Freiburg does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both West Ham United FC and SC Freiburg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' Noah Atubolu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 49 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 14' What a strike from Mohammed Kudus! The score is 1-0.
- 19' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 24' 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 Edson Alvarez suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' Emerson has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 34' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His West Ham United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 42' A goal from the Mexico international Edson Alvarez! He fires home on 42 to make it 2-0!
- 46' The SC Freiburg bench stirs into life. Roland Sallai is withdrawn and Merlin Rohl gets his opportunity.
- 51' West Ham United FC 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.
- 55' Fresh legs for West Ham United FC! Pablo Fornals comes on to replace Edson Alvarez.
- 56' A change in the SC Freiburg ranks — Michael Gregoritsch exits the field as Lucas Holer enters on 56.
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 493 games and scored 469 goals.
- 66' The 33-year-old Vincenzo Grifo has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 5 assists is a remarkable return.
- 68' The crowd applauds Vincenzo Grifo as he leaves the pitch. Noah Weisshaupt steps in for SC Freiburg.
- 72' Another substitution for West Ham United FC to replace Jarrod Bowen by Danny Ings on 72 minute.
- 74' Lukas Kubler is replacing Jordy Makengo for the SC Freiburg side.
- 79' West Ham United FC is showing some good football. However, West Ham United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
