Events

Match Events

  • 0' Colombia have kicked off against Portugal. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' It’s high time Roberto Martínez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rafael Leao made 466 appearances and scored 79 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Colombia and Portugal are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Hard Rock Stadium. Portugal seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 30' Colombia are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Colombia international Jhon Lucumi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' The 28-year-old Jhon Arias has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 46' Diogo Dalot has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joao Cancelo on 46 minute.
  • 51' Colombia currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 56' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 60' Another change for Colombia made on 60 minute. Jhon Cordoba leaves to be changed by Luis Suarez.
  • 65' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 70' The Portugal bench stirs into life. Joao Felix is withdrawn and Rafael Leao gets his opportunity.
  • 75' Both keepers have barely been tested. Colombia and Portugal are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 76' Jhon Arias makes way for Kevin Castano at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Colombia.
  • 81' named a 4-1-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 86' That is a card for Colombia. Gustavo Puerta will be fuming at that decision.
  • 87' Colombia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Daniel Munoz is hanging Santiago Arias on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Portugal. Nuno Mendes is replaced by Matheus Nunes.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
