Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Croatia to score. At the same time, Czechia does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Czechia have won 14 goals from 107 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 15' Croatia currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 169 games and scored 46 goals.
  • 25' Vladimir Darida has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dejan Lovren on 35.
  • 37' Patrik Schick doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 42' Ondrej Celustka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Josip Brekalo as he leaves the pitch. Luka Ivanusec steps in for Croatia.
  • 47' GOAL! Ivan Perisic scores on 47. Assisted by Andrej Kramaric

  • 50' It’s a booking for Czech Republic player. Lukas Masopust gets a Yellow card.
  • 55' The travelling Czechia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Antonin Barak made 456 appearances and scored 27 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 62' A change in the Croatia ranks — Andrej Kramaric exits the field as Nikola Vlasic enters on 62.
  • 63' Czech Republic make a change. Lukas Masopust trudges off to be replaced by Adam Hlozek on 63 minutes.

  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Petr Sevcik. He replaces Jakub Jankto on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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.
  • 82' Jan Boril picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 87' Croatia make a change. Mateo Kovacic trudges off to be replaced by Marcelo Brozovic on 87 minutes.
  • 90' Czech Republic receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
