Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Stadium 974. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Denmark is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Denmark is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' 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 Jules Kounde suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Denmark player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 23' Denmark receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 23.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Theo Hernandez, as he is very good at scoring at Stadium 974 with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 33' France is showing some good football. However, France are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 38' Dayot Upamecano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jules Kounde.
  • 46' Denmark manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Braithwaite is hanging Andreas Cornelius on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' Denmark started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 61' What a strike from Kylian Mbappe! The score is 1-0.
  • 63' Another change for France made on 63 minute. Olivier Giroud leaves to be changed by Marcus Thuram-Ulien.
  • 68' Goal! Andreas Christensen scores his 9 goal in 409 matches.
  • 73' The Denmark manager makes a substitution. Mikkel Damsgaard departs to be replaced by Kasper Dolberg.
  • 75' Another change for France made on 75 minute. Raphael Varane leaves to be changed by Ibrahima Konate.
  • 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering France that had 171 games and scored 77 goals.
  • 85' Denmark manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Christian Norgaard is hanging Jesper Lindstrom on the field on 85 minute.
  • 86' France is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kylian Mbappe on 86.
  • 90' Another substitution for Denmark to replace Rasmus Kristensen by Alexander Bah on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. France beats Denmark
