Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds RheinEnergieSTADION will turn into a battlefield for England and Slovenia.
- 5' Slovenia come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both England and Slovenia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 17' Kieran Trippier picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 22' The referee calls foul for Erik Janza. He receives a card.
- 27' Kieran Trippier, a England defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 32' The travelling Slovenia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' 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.
- 42' England have won 75 goals from 137 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 46' It is a substitution in England team. Conor Gallagher is replaced by Kobbie Mainoo on 46 minute.
- 51' 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.
- 56' Slovenia are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 61' The 38-year-old Josip Ilicic has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Slovenia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 68' A moment of madness from Marc Guehi on 68 minutes earns him a card. England will be frustrated.
- 71' Cole Palmer is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bukayo Saka at the 71 minute mark.
- 72' Poor challenge from Jaka Bijol. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 75' The Slovenia manager makes a substitution. Benjamin Sesko departs to be replaced by Josip Ilicic.
- 77' England receives a card for a hard tackle on 77.
- 82' 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 Kyle Walker suffering a number of foals already.
- 84' Trent Alexander-Arnold gets the nod from England. He replaces Kieran Trippier and will look to change the dynamic.
- 86' Jon Stankovic is replacing Jan Mlakar for the Slovenia side.
- 89' The England manager makes a substitution. Phil Foden departs to be replaced by Anthony Gordon.
- 90' The Slovenia manager makes a substitution. Erik Janza departs to be replaced by Jure Balkovec.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
