Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Club Atletico de Madrid kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Club Atletico de Madrid that had 519 games and scored 607 goals.
- 10' Arsenal FC looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 3 matches with its main striker Viktor Gyokeres scoring 1 goals.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' It’s high time Diego Simeone made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Leandro Trossard needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
- 35' Club Atletico de Madrid is showing some good football. However, Club Atletico de Madrid are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 40' 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.
- 44' Goal! Bukayo Saka scores his 93 goal in 410 matches.
- 45' Goal! Bukayo Saka scores his 93 goal in 410 matches.
- 50' Arsenal FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
- 55' It looks like no one’s ball. Arsenal FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 65' William Saliba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 33 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' Arsenal FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' 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 Antoine Griezmann suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 3 times this season with Arsenal FC winning 66.67% of all matches.
- 81' That looks like a foul for a card for Marc Pubill.
- 86' It looks surprising Club Atletico de Madrid does not make any changes. Matteo Ruggeri has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Giuliano Simeone on 90.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Arsenal FC players.
