Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Germany vs Ivory Coast — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' It’s high time Emerse Faé made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Manuel Neuer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 19 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Germany winning 100% of all matches.
  • 30' Magnificent from Franck Kessie! That is 41 goals in 515 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 35' The home supporters are growing impatient. Germany must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 40' Germany are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ange-Yoan Bonny made 256 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Germany — Antonio Rudiger on, Nico Schlotterbeck off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Leroy Sane has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' 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 Jamal Musiala suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' Another change for Germany made on 60 minute. Jamal Musiala leaves to be changed by Deniz Undav.
  • 65' Germany has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 68' Deniz Undav is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 3 goals this season for the .
  • 73' A quiet spell here at BMO Field. Ivory Coast seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 75' Seko Fofana gets the nod from Ivory Coast. He replaces Ibrahim Sangare and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' Germany currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 85' Ivory Coast manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nicolas Pepe is hanging Yan Diomande on the field on 85 minute.
  • 90' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 2-1 the final result. Ivory Coast will be bitterly disappointed.
