Ajax was given a little make-up call with only 4 minutes of stoppage time.  that's pretty standard in your run of the mill game.  this was not run of the mill.  4 goals in the second half, plus two guys sent off, and a PK.  refs felt bad for Ajax and only added 4 minutes.  could have been 7.

credit Ajax.  they did some attacking when they were 2 men down.  they didn't just park the bus.

Yup but fortunately the better team took home a point even after such a poor first half. Credit to Dave and the boys for putting together a strong second half to stay tied at the top of the group.

So this was the Bravo straight red for a last man foul.

It's very clear that the player solid the foul by going down. But given the fact that Atalanta wouldn't score and would draw 1-1, I wonder if they would have been better staying up and maybe getting that ball and tapping it in.  Thoughts?

Here's another angle:

yeah, y'all are right.  when 2 of the 6 richest clubs in the world with some of the most insane talent in the world meet for only the 10th time in their history, it's meaningless.

i get that this match doesn't have much impact on the group stage table, but this game isn't meaningless.  this game is a barometer for both teams about where they are and where they can go.  and the talent here is sick.

Real up 2-0.

Scratch that.  Mbappe just scored.

Meaningless in terms of advancement in this tournament. All games have meaning.

 

Except for the Carabao Cup...
