Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against England and Ghana has kicked off!
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Reece James made 380 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Ghana winning 0% of all matches.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ghana that had 5 games and scored 8 goals.
  • 30' England 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.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 41' England player sees a card in front of him.
  • 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 51' Harry Kane needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Inaki Williams is having his name booked by the referee on 60.
  • 65' England is showing some good football. However, England are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' Time for substitution for England. Anthony Gordon is replaced by Bukayo Saka.
  • 67' Ghana manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Prince Adu is hanging Jordan Ayew on the field on 67 minute.
  • 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. England needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 73' Time for substitution for England. Jude Bellingham is replaced by Morgan Rogers.
  • 74' Eberechi Eze has so much to prove this time. He replaces Elliot Anderson on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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 Prince Adu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' Another substitution for England to replace Noni Madueke by Marcus Rashford on 83 minute.
  • 87' The Ghana manager makes a substitution. Marvin Senaya departs to be replaced by Kojo Peprah Oppong.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
