Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Bosnia-Herzegovina gets underway.
  • 5' It’s high time Sergej Barbarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' The travelling Qatar supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Bosnia-Herzegovina is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' It looks surprising Bosnia-Herzegovina does not make any changes. Akram Afif has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 29' What a strike from Kerim Alajbegovic! The score is 1-0.
  • 34' GOAL! Edin Dzeko scores on 34.
  • 39' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Bosnia-Herzegovina winning 100% of all matches.
  • 42' GOAL! Hassan Al Haydos scores on 42.
  • 46' The Bosnia-Herzegovina manager makes a substitution. Ivan Sunjic departs to be replaced by Benjamin Tahirovic.
  • 51' Qatar is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' The whistle greets Hassan Al Haydos as he departs to be replaced by Ahmed Al Ganehi.
  • 60' Qatar started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
  • 63' The whistle greets Nikola Katic as he departs to be replaced by Dennis Hadzikadunic.
  • 68' Ro-Ro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 72' Another substitution for Qatar to replace Karim Boudiaf by Almoez Ali on 72 minute.
  • 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bosnia-Herzegovina that had 3 games and scored 8 goals.
  • 78' Ahmed Fathy is having his name booked by the referee on 78.
  • 79' Time for substitution for Qatar. Ahmed Fathy is replaced by Mohamed Al-Mannai.
  • 80' What a strike from Esmir Bajraktarevic! The score is 3-1.
  • 82' It is a substitution in Bosnia-Herzegovina team. Kerim Alajbegovic is replaced by Dzenis Burnic on 82 minute.
  • 82' Ermin Mahmic is having his name booked by the referee on 82.
  • 87' Bosnia-Herzegovina looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kerim Alajbegovic scoring 1 goals.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
