Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Al Janoub Stadium. Australia are looking to make home advantage count against Denmark.
- 4' Aziz Behich is having his name booked by the referee on 4.
- 9' Denmark have won 19 goals from 95 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 14' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Denmark needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 19' 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 Riley McGree suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 29' Andreas Cornelius, a Denmark , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 34' It is a cagey affair so far. Australia in their trying to find a way past Denmark's compact .
- 39' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Australia that had 12 games and scored 13 goals.
- 46' Australia make a change. Craig Goodwin trudges off to be replaced by Keanu Baccus on 46 minutes.
- 51' The 39-year-old Kasper Schmeichel has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 56' Denmark is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 57' The referee has no hesitation. Milos Degenek is booked for Australia — Yellow card on 57.
- 59' Kasper Dolberg is ready to make an impact after coming on for Martin Braithwaite at the 59 minute mark.
- 60' The Australia Mathew Leckie breaks the deadlock on 60 minutes. 1-0!
- 65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 69' The Denmark manager makes a substitution. Andreas Skov Olsen departs to be replaced by Robert Skov.
- 70' Denmark make a change. Andreas Skov Olsen trudges off to be replaced by Robert Skov on 70 minutes.
- 74' Australia make a change. Riley McGree trudges off to be replaced by Bailey Wright on 74 minutes.
- 75' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Robert Skov.
- 80' 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.
- 82' Mitchell Duke makes way for Jamie MacLaren at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from Australia.
- 87' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 89' Australia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ajdin Hrustic is hanging Mathew Leckie on the field on 89 minute.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Australia players.
