Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Sporting Clube de Braga kicks off things out of here…
- 3' It’s a booking for 1. FC Union Berlin player. Robin Knoche gets a Yellow card.
- 8' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 13' Sporting Clube de Braga is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Braga are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 18' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 23' 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.
- 28' Ricardo Horta needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 31' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Sikou Niakate gets a Red card.
- 33' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Victor Gomez gets a Yellow card.
- 36' Serdar Saatci is replacing Vitor Carvalho for the Sporting Clube de Braga side.
- 39' Lucas Tousart was booked on 39.
- 42' 1. FC Union Berlin is taking the lead after the goal scored by Robin Gosens on 42.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Rodrigo Zalazar.
- 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sporting Clube de Braga needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 51' GOAL! Alvaro Djalo scores on 51.
- 54' Rani Khedira is having his name booked by the referee on 54.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jerome Roussillon made 460 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 62' 1. FC Union Berlin manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Janik Haberer is hanging Lucas Tousart on the field on 62 minute.
- 67' 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.
- 68' The whistle greets Simon Banza as he departs to be replaced by Abel Ruiz.
- 73' 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 Sikou Niakate suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 79' The whistle greets Aissa Laidouni as he departs to be replaced by Alex Kral.
- 81' The whistle greets Rodrigo Zalazar as he departs to be replaced by Andre Horta.
- 86' It looks surprising 1. FC Union Berlin does not make any changes. Robin Knoche has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 90' Artur Jorge was booked on 90.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
