Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Albania to score. At the same time, Switzerland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' What a strike from Fabian Schar! The score is 0-1.
  • 10' Granit Xhaka needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 13' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fabian Schar on 13.
  • 18' It looks surprising Albania does not make any changes. has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 23' It’s a booking for Albania player. Lorik Cana gets a Yellow card.
  • 28' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' 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.
  • 37' Albania receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 37.
  • 42' The travelling Switzerland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Switzerland that had 25 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 57' 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.
  • 62' Breel Embolo is replacing Admir Mehmedi for the Switzerland side.
  • 63' Ergys Kace is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Valon Behrami on 67.
  • 72' Switzerland seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 74' Sokol Cikalleshi is replacing Odise Roshi for the Albania side.
  • 75' The Switzerland manager makes a substitution. Blerim Dzemaili departs to be replaced by Fabian Frei.
  • 80' 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 Taulant Xhaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 82' Time for substitution for Albania. Armando Sadiku is replaced by Shkelzen Gashi.
  • 87' Switzerland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Burim Kukeli.
  • 89' Gelson Fernandes is replacing Xherdan Shaqiri for the Switzerland side.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mergim Mavraj.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Switzerland players.
