Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Netherlands to score. At the same time, Ukraine does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' 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.
  • 13' Ukraine manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marlos is hanging Oleksandr Zubkov on the field on 13 minute.
  • 18' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 23' 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 Mykola Matviienko suffering a number of foals already.
  • 28' It looks like no one’s ball. Netherlands is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 33' 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.
  • 38' Ukraine 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.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Ukraine needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 48' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 52' GOAL! Georginio Wijnaldum scores on 52.
  • 57' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 58' What a strike from Wout Weghorst! The score is 2-0.
  • 59' Wout Weghorst with the second goal in the match!
  • 64' Netherlands manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Nathan Ake is hanging Daley Blind on the field on 64 minute.
  • 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ukraine that had 151 games and scored 9 goals.
  • 74' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' What a strike from Andrii Yarmolenko! The score is 3-1.
  • 79' What a strike from Roman Yaremchuk! The score is 3-2.
  • 84' Ukraine is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' GOAL! Denzel Dumfries scores on 85. Assisted by Nathan Ake
  • 88' Luuk de Jong has so much to prove this time. He replaces Wout Weghorst on 88 minute.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Serhii Sydorchuk on 90.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Donyell Malen. He replaces Memphis Depay on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Netherlands players.
