Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sweden kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' France currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' It’s high time Graham Potter made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Sweden is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' Lucas Digne, a France defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' Sweden come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both France and Sweden are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Graham Potter will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering France that had 178 games and scored 94 goals.
  • 45' Kylian Mbappe adds to his 15 season tally! France lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 50' It looks surprising France does not make any changes. Mike Maignan has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 53' Assisted by Michael Olise with the perfectly-timed delivery and Bradley Barcola makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 58' Sweden international Yasin Ayari has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 63' Victor Nilsson-Lindelof has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 411 appearances.
  • 66' Lucas Bergvall makes way for Taha Ali at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sweden.
  • 71' France are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Sweden's 3-4-3 shape.
  • 74' Assisted by Michael Olise with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kylian Mbappe makes no mistake. 3-0!
  • 79' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jules Kounde, as he is very good at scoring at MetLife Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 89' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from France to claim maximum points.
