Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Austria gets underway.
  • 5' Lisandro Martinez needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Austria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Austria is showing some good football. However, Austria are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Austria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 39' GOAL! Lionel Messi scores on 39. Assisted by Facundo Medina
  • 41' That looks like a foul for a card for Stefan Posch.
  • 46' The travelling Austria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 51' It looks surprising Argentina does not make any changes. Stefan Posch has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' Alexander Prass has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 57' The whistle greets Christian Romero as he departs to be replaced by Nicolas Otamendi.
  • 62' Argentina looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lionel Messi scoring 2 goals.
  • 65' The whistle greets Thiago Almada as he departs to be replaced by Julian Alvarez.
  • 67' It’s gonna be a card for Konrad Laimer.
  • 68' Another change for Austria made on 68 minute. David Alaba leaves to be changed by Marco Friedl.
  • 73' Austria 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.
  • 76' The referee shows Argentina player a card on 76.
  • 78' Patrick Wimmer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Romano Schmid on 78 minute.
  • 82' Leandro Paredes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rodrigo de Paul on 82 minute.
  • 87' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Argentina winning 100% of all matches.
  • 90' Argentina receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Argentina players.
