Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Croatia get us underway at BMO Field.
  • 5' Panama are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Panama and Croatia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' Josip Stanisic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Orlando Mosquera has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 8 appearances.
  • 25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Christian Martinez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Panama.
  • 30' Luka Modric, a Croatia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' Panama currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' Panama started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
  • 46' Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ante Budimir is hanging Petar Musa on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Panama needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 54' Ante Budimir makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Croatia are in front.
  • 59' Cesar Blackman has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 61' It’s gonna be a card for Edgar Barcenas.
  • 66' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Panama side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 71' Croatia international Petar Musa has been a key figure this campaign — 12 goals and 5 assists in the Array this season.
  • 72' Petar Sucic gets the nod from Croatia. He replaces Mateo Kovacic and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' Fresh legs for Panama! Cecilio Waterman comes on to replace Jiovany Ramos.
  • 82' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Christiansen might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 83' A tactical swap from Panama — Azarias Londono on, Jose Fajardo off on 83 minutes.
  • 88' Panama are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Croatia backline.
  • 90' A change in the Panama ranks — Edgar Barcenas exits the field as Tomas Rodriguez enters on 90.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Petar Sucic. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Croatia players.
