Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Germany is hosting Ivory Coast for another epic battle.
  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Seko Fofana is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Ivory Coast.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' It looks surprising Germany does not make any changes. Jamal Musiala has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' GOAL! Franck Kessie fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Ivory Coast is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Germany international Kai Havertz has been a key figure this campaign — 7 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Nico Schlotterbeck as he leaves the pitch. Antonio Rudiger steps in for Germany.
  • 51' Ivory Coast come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 56' Joshua Kimmich is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Germany so far.
  • 60' Another substitution for Germany to replace Jamal Musiala by Deniz Undav on 60 minute.
  • 65' It is a cagey affair so far. Germany in their 3-4-3 trying to find a way past Ivory Coast's compact 4-3-3.
  • 68' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Deniz Undav makes it 1-1.
  • 73' 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.
  • 75' The Ivory Coast manager makes a substitution. Ibrahim Sangare departs to be replaced by Seko Fofana.
  • 80' Germany 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.
  • 85' Ivory Coast make a change. Yan Diomande trudges off to be replaced by Nicolas Pepe on 85 minutes.
  • 90' Germany currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 2-1 the final result. Ivory Coast will be bitterly disappointed.
