Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Italy launch into their encounter with Sweden.
  • 5' Italy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Italy and Sweden are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' Sweden is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' It looks surprising Sweden does not make any changes. Andrea Barzagli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sweden needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' Andreas Isaksson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' Italy 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.
  • 55' 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 suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' The supporters are chanting for Simone Zaza. He replaces Graziano Pelle on 59 minute.
  • 64' Italy have won 42 goals from 111 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 69' Controversy at the stadium! Daniele De Rossi argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 74' The crowd applauds Daniele De Rossi as he leaves the pitch. Thiago Motta steps in for Italy.
  • 79' Another change for Sweden made on 79 minute. Albin Ekdal leaves to be changed by Oscar Lewicki.
  • 84' The travelling Sweden supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' Alessandro Florenzi makes way for Stefano Sturaro at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from Italy.
  • 88' Eder doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 90' Gianluigi Buffon is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
