Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Merkur Spiel-Arena that hosts another battle between France and Belgium.
- 5' Belgium is showing some good football. However, Belgium are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Mike Maignan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 14' Aurelien Tchouameni was booked on 14.
- 19' It looks surprising France does not make any changes. Koen Casteels has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 23' The referee calls foul for Antoine Griezmann. He receives a card.
- 24' France receives a card for a hard tackle on 24.
- 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Romelu Lukaku made 409 appearances and scored 157 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' The travelling Belgium supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kevin De Bruyne, as he is very good at scoring at Merkur Spiel-Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 49' 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.
- 54' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Belgium needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 59' 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.
- 62' It is a substitution in France team. Marcus Thuram-Ulien is replaced by Randal Kolo Muani on 62 minute.
- 63' Another change for Belgium made on 63 minute. Lois Openda leaves to be changed by Orel Mangala.
- 68' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with France winning 100% of all matches.
- 73' Belgium started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 73.
- 76' That looks like a foul for a card for Jan Vertonghen.
- 81' 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 Jeremy Doku suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Belgium is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jan Vertonghen on 85.
- 88' The whistle greets Yannick Carrasco as he departs to be replaced by Dodi Lukebakio.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Orel Mangala.
- The final score is 1-0.
