Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Canada gets underway.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Basic made 184 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bosnia-Herzegovina needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 11' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alistair Johnston on 11.
- 16' Bosnia-Herzegovina looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Jovo Lukic scoring 1 goals.
- 21' Goal! Jovo Lukic scores his 2 goal in 8 matches.
- 26' Bosnia-Herzegovina 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.
- 31' It looks surprising Bosnia-Herzegovina does not make any changes. Liam Millar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 36' 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 0% of all matches.
- 41' 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.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Ermedin Demirovic.
- 50' 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 Ismael Kone suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' It’s gonna be a card for Luc De Fougerolles.
- 58' Supporters expect more eagerness from Esmir Bajraktarevic, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Bosnia-Herzegovina is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 68' Bosnia-Herzegovina is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 73' 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.
- 78' GOAL! Cyle Larin scores on 78. Assisted by Promise Akinpelu
- 83' Canada started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 83.
- 88' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Nikola Katic. He receives a card.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
