Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Colombia and Congo DR has kicked off!
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Congo DR that had 2 games and scored 1 goals.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Colombia 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' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Colombia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' 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 Jefferson Lerma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Colombia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' The Congo DR manager makes a substitution. Ngal'ayel Mukau departs to be replaced by Noah Sadiki.
  • 51' The travelling Congo DR supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' Jhon Lucumi is having his name booked by the referee on 56.
  • 57' The referee calls foul for Jhon Lucumi. He receives a card.
  • 57' The whistle greets Cedric Bakambu as he departs to be replaced by Simon Banza.
  • 58' The Colombia manager makes a substitution. Luis Suarez departs to be replaced by Jhon Cordoba.
  • 63' It looks like no one’s ball. Colombia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 68' Supporters expect more eagerness from Davinson Sanchez, as he is very good at scoring at AKRON with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Congo DR team. Arthur Masuaku is replaced by Joris Kayembe on 72 minute.
  • 76' Goal! Daniel Munoz scores his 24 goal in 316 matches.
  • 77' The Colombia manager makes a substitution. Jhon Arias departs to be replaced by Richard Rios.
  • 78' Colombia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Richard Rios is hanging Jhon Arias on the field on 78 minute.
  • 82' The Congo DR manager makes a substitution. Samuel Moutoussamy departs to be replaced by Nathanael Mbuku.
  • 87' Simon Banza has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' The referee calls foul for Jefferson Lerma. He receives a card.
  • The final score is 1-0.
