Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Panama kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' It’s high time Zlatko Dalić made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Andrej Kramaric has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Croatia is showing some good football. However, Croatia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marin Pongracic, as he is very good at scoring at BMO Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 167 games and scored 43 goals.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' Another substitution for Croatia to replace Petar Musa by Ante Budimir on 46 minute.
  • 51' Cesar Blackman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 54' Goal! Ante Budimir scores his 86 goal in 228 matches.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' That looks like a foul for a card for Edgar Barcenas.
  • 66' Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 71' 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.
  • 72' Petar Sucic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mateo Kovacic on 72 minute.
  • 77' Another substitution for Panama to replace Jiovany Ramos by Cecilio Waterman on 77 minute.
  • 82' Panama 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.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Azarias Londono. He replaces Jose Fajardo on 83 minute.
  • 88' 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.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Panama team. Edgar Barcenas is replaced by Tomas Rodriguez on 90 minute.
  • 90' Croatia player sees a card in front of him.
  • Full Time. Croatia beats Panama
