Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Ecuador kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' John Yeboah has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alan Franco, as he is very good at scoring at Arrowhead Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Ecuador is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Curacao winning 0% of all matches.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Roshon van Eijma made 0 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' Ecuador started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
  • 38' Jordy Alcivar was booked on 38.
  • 39' It’s gonna be a card for Leandro Bacuna.
  • 44' Curacao is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Ecuador team. Jordy Alcivar is replaced by Kevin Rodriguez on 46 minute.
  • 51' Ecuador is showing some good football. However, Ecuador are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 53' Juninho Bacuna was booked on 53.
  • 56' Livano Comenencia was booked on 56.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Curacao needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 66' It’s high time Dick Advocaat made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' Nilson Angulo is replacing Pervis Estupinan for the Ecuador side.
  • 75' Jurien Gaari is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
  • 75' Kenji Gorre is replacing Juninho Bacuna for the Curacao side.
  • 76' Roshon van Eijma is replacing Deveron Fonville for the Curacao side.
  • 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 83' Angelo Preciado is replacing Alan Franco for the Ecuador side.
  • 84' Another change for Curacao made on 84 minute. Livano Comenencia leaves to be changed by Godfried Roemeratoe.
  • 89' It is a substitution in Ecuador team. John Yeboah is replaced by Jordy Caicedo on 89 minute.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gervane Kastaneer on 90.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
