Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Mexico and England has kicked off!
  • 1' Declan Rice picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 6' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 11' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cesar Montes made 13 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 21' Gilberto Mora has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 26' 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 Declan Rice suffering a number of foals already.
  • 31' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 36' Jude Bellingham makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and England are in front.

  • 75' Dan Burn is ready to make an impact after coming on for Elliot Anderson at the 75 minute mark.
