Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Spain kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Albania and Spain are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' Alex Baena, a Spain midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 13' Spain is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ferran Torres on 13.
  • 18' Spain has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 23' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Spain winning 100% of all matches.
  • 28' Spain are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 33' Spain fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 38' Spain is showing some good football. However, Spain are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 43' Alvaro Morata is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Albania tonight.
  • 46' The Spain bench stirs into life. Aymeric Laporte is withdrawn and Robin Le Normand gets his opportunity.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luis de la Fuente will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' Rey Manaj makes way for Armando Broja at the 59 minute mark. A tactical switch from Albania.
  • 62' A tactical swap from Spain — Fermin Lopez on, Mikel Oyarzabal off on 62 minutes.
  • 67' That looks like a foul for a card for Nedim Bajrami.
  • 70' It is a substitution in Albania team. Qazim Laci is replaced by Medon Berisha on 70 minute.
  • 72' A tactical swap from Spain — Alvaro Morata on, Joselu off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' It looks like no one’s ball. Albania is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 81' Ernest Muci gets the nod from Albania. He replaces Jasir Asani and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 84' Dani Olmo makes way for Alex Baena at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Spain.
  • 89' The referee shows Albania player a card on 89.
  • 90' Daniel Vivian is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
