Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against France and Morocco has kicked off!
  • 5' Morocco come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mohamed Ouahbi might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' Morocco have won 22 goals from 17 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Morocco that had 17 games and scored 22 goals.
  • 35' Michael Olise needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' It’s high time Didier Deschamps made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 45' A quiet spell here at Gillette Stadium. France seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 50' Neil El Aynaoui is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Morocco tonight.
  • 55' 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 Sofyan Amrabat suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Kylian Mbappe does the damage! The net is bulging and France surge ahead!
  • 62' Soufiane Rahimi is replacing Bilal El Khannouss for the Morocco side.
  • 63' Controversy at the stadium! Issa Diop argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 66' Goal! Ousmane Dembele scores his 80 goal in 513 matches.
  • 70' A tactical swap from France — Warren Zaire-Emery on, Manu Kone off on 70 minutes.
  • 74' Another change for Morocco made on 74 minute. Brahim Diaz leaves to be changed by Gessime Yassine.
  • 77' A tactical swap from France — Jean-Philippe Mateta on, Kylian Mbappe off on 77 minutes.
  • 82' Jules Kounde has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 391 appearances.
  • 85' A change in the Morocco ranks — Chemsdine Talbi exits the field as Amine Sbai enters on 85.
  • 86' Jules Kounde makes way for Malo Gusto at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from France.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — France 2-0 Morocco.
