Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Czechia gets underway.
  • 5' Croatia is showing some good football. However, Croatia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mateo Kovacic made 409 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' Czechia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 166 games and scored 42 goals.
  • 30' It looks surprising Czechia does not make any changes. Domagoj Vida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dejan Lovren on 35.
  • 37' Czech Republic is taking the lead after the goal scored by Patrik Schick on 37.
  • 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ante Rebic, as he is very good at scoring at Hampden Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' Another change for Croatia made on 46 minute. Josip Brekalo leaves to be changed by Luka Ivanusec.
  • 47' What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 1-1.
  • 48' Sensational shot from Ivan Perisic. Croatia is back in the lead.
  • 50' The referee calls foul for Lukas Masopust. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 55' Tomas Kalas needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Nikola Vlasic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 62 minute.
  • 63' Adam Hlozek has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lukas Masopust on 63 minute.
  • 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
  • 73' 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 Petr Sevcik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 74' The whistle greets Jakub Jankto as he departs to be replaced by Petr Sevcik.
  • 79' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 82' Jan Boril was booked on 82.
  • 87' It is a substitution in Croatia team. Mateo Kovacic is replaced by Marcelo Brozovic on 87 minute.
  • 90' It’s a booking for Czech Republic player. Adam Hlozek gets a Yellow card.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
