Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. England kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' England looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 10' Ifeoma Chukwufumnay Onumonu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' The travelling Nigeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' Nigeria 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.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nigeria that had 4 games and scored 3 goals.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Desire Oparanozie, as he is very good at scoring at Suncorp Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' Nigeria started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
  • 50' Osinachi Ohale needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nigeria needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 58' Asisat Oshoala is replacing Ifeoma Chukwufumnay Onumonu for the Nigeria side.
  • 63' 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.
  • 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with England winning 100% of all matches.
  • 73' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 73 minutes.
  • 78' 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 Francisca Ordega suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' The Nigeria manager makes a substitution. Uchenna Kanu departs to be replaced by Francisca Ordega.
  • 86' The referee calls foul for Lauren James. He receives a card.
  • 88' Another substitution for England to replace Alessia Russo by Chloe Kelly on 88 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-2.
