Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium!
  • 5' Canada is showing some good football. However, Canada are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 9' Yannick Carrasco is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
  • 14' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 19' Canada 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.
  • 24' 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 Steven Vitoria suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Canada have won 12 goals from 8 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 34' Both keepers have barely been tested. Belgium and Canada are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 39' The energy levels are beginning to show. Roberto Martínez might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 44' Against the run of play, Michy Batshuayi has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 46' Amadou Onana is replacing Youri Tielemans for the Belgium side.
  • 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Belgium is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Thomas Meunier.
  • 56' It’s a booking for Belgium player. Amadou Onana gets a Yellow card.
  • 58' Fresh legs for Canada! Cyle Larin comes on to replace Junior Hoilett.
  • 62' Leandro Trossard gets the nod from Belgium. He replaces Eden Hazard and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 67' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Belgium and Canada are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 72' Belgium are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 74' Sam Adekugbe gets the nod from Canada. He replaces Richie Laryea and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' Belgium ring the changes. Michy Batshuayi has done his job and it is now time for Lois Openda to step up.
  • 81' Liam Millar has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tajon Buchanan on 81 minute.
  • 81' Alphonso Davies catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 81.
  • 82' Alphonso Davies was booked on 82.
  • 83' Canada receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 83.
  • 88' Belgium currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Belgium and Canada (для сухой ничьи).
