Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Accor Stadium that hosts another battle between Australia and England.
  • 5' Keira Walsh needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' England receives a card for a hard tackle on 10.
  • 15' England 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.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' England looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Lauren Hemp scoring 1 goals.
  • 30' The travelling England supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 36' Ella Toone puts England on the lead.
  • 41' 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 Millie Bright suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' 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.

  • 56' England is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 61' It looks like no one’s ball. Australia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 68' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 77' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mackenzie Arnold, as he is very good at scoring at Accor Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
