Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Croatia and Scotland has kicked off!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Borna Barisic made 166 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' It’s high time Zlatko Dalić made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 17' Croatia is taking the lead after the goal scored by Nikola Vlasic on 17.
- 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Scotland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 26' The referee shows Croatia player a Yellow card on 26.
- 31' Croatia 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.
- 33' Another substitution for Scotland to replace Grant Hanley by Scott McKenna on 33 minute.
- 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Scott McKenna on 34.
- 39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
- 42' What a strike from Callum McGregor! The score is 1-1.
- 47' It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. David Marshall has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 52' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 57' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 62' Goal! Luka Modric scores his 37 goal in 545 matches.
- 67' 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 Ivan Perisic suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' It is a substitution in Scotland team. Stuart Armstrong is replaced by Ryan Fraser on 70 minute.
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Borna Barisic. He replaces Josko Gvardiol on 71 minute.
- 76' Luka Ivanusec is replacing Nikola Vlasic for the Croatia side.
- 77' What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 3-1.
- 81' Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ante Rebic is hanging Ivan Perisic on the field on 81 minute.
- 84' Another substitution for Scotland to replace Che Adams by Kevin Nisbet on 84 minute.
- 89' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Scotland.
