Match Events
- 0' The game is set. SK Sturm Graz kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Midtjylland that had 225 games and scored 96 goals.
- 8' SK Sturm Graz is taking the lead after the goal scored by Emanuel Emegha on 8.
- 13' 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.
- 18' It looks surprising SK Sturm Graz does not make any changes. Evander has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SK Sturm Graz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 28' SK Sturm Graz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 33' 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 Mads Thychosen suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' 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.
- 40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Emanuel Emegha.
- 45' FC Midtjylland looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. William Boving made 105 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 55' Jorg Siebenhandl has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 57' Another change for FC Midtjylland made on 57 minute. Oliver Sorensen leaves to be changed by Kristoffer Olsson.
- 62' SK Sturm Graz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mohammed Fuseini is hanging William Boving on the field on 62 minute.
- 65' SK Sturm Graz receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 65.
- 69' The whistle greets Emanuel Emegha as he departs to be replaced by Albian Ajeti.
- 70' Emiliano Martinez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pione Sisto on 70 minute.
- 73' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Stefan Hierlander.
- 78' SK Sturm Graz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ivan Ljubic is hanging Tomi Horvat on the field on 78 minute.
- 79' The supporters are chanting for Ivan Ljubic. He replaces Tomi Horvat on 79 minute.
- 81' The FC Midtjylland manager makes a substitution. Paulinho departs to be replaced by Mads Thychosen.
