Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Morocco and Croatia has kicked off!
  • 5' Croatia come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' Mislav Orsic, a Croatia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' 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 Andrej Kramaric suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Walid Regragui will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Morocco must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' Morocco is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' Croatia are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' Nayef Aguerd has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Croatia — Mario Pasalic on, Nikola Vlasic off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 56' The 28-year-old Noussair Mazraoui has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' A change in the Morocco ranks — Noussair Mazraoui exits the field as Yahia Attiyat Allah enters on 60.
  • 65' A change in the Morocco ranks — Sofiane Boufal exits the field as Abdessamad Ezzalzouli enters on 65.
  • 70' A quiet spell here at Al Bayt Stadium. Croatia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 71' Marko Livaja is replacing Andrej Kramaric for the Croatia side.

  • 82' Fresh legs for Morocco! Abdelhamid Sabiri comes on to replace Azzedine Ounahi.
  • 87' Morocco are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
