Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at MetLife Stadium!
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' A quiet spell here at MetLife Stadium. France seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 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 Lucas Digne suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' France looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Kylian Mbappe scoring 2 goals.
- 25' Sweden international Lucas Bergvall has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Elliot Stroud, a Sweden , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 40' It looks surprising France does not make any changes. Michael Olise has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Kylian Mbappe makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and France are in front.
- 50' 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.
- 53' A stunning finish from Bradley Barcola — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 58' Jacob Widell Zetterstrom has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 63' Sweden come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 66' Sweden ring the changes. Lucas Bergvall has done his job and it is now time for Taha Ali to step up.
- 71' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 74' The deadlock is broken! Kylian Mbappe gets on the scoresheet on 74 minutes.
- 79' Sweden have won 17 goals from 108 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 84' Aurelien Tchouameni is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sweden so far.
- 89' William Saliba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 427 appearances.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for France and Sweden (для сухой ничьи).
