Events

Match Events

  • 2' What a strike from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia! The score is 1-0.
  • 7' Georgia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Georges Mikautadze scoring 1 goals.
  • 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Felix made 467 appearances and scored 75 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 22' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 27' It looks like no one’s ball. Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 28' Cristiano Ronaldo is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Georges Mikautadze, as he is very good at scoring at Veltins-Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
  • 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 44' The referee shows Portugal player a card on 44.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Ruben Neves. He replaces Joao Palhinha on 46 minute.
  • 51' Georgia seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 53' It’s gonna be a card for Ruben Neves.
  • 57' Goal! Georges Mikautadze scores his 69 goal in 434 matches.
  • 62' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Georgia winning 100% of all matches.

  • 66' Goncalo Ramos is replacing Cristiano Ronaldo for the Portugal side.
  • 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portugal that had 121 games and scored 40 goals.
  • 75' Diogo Jota has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pedro Neto on 75 minute.
  • 76' Time for substitution for Georgia. Giorgi Gvelesiani is replaced by Solomon Kverkvelia.
