Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Panama vs England — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' 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 Jose Luis Rodriguez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' England started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' England have won 75 goals from 137 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 20' England are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Thomas Tuchel will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 35' It’s high time Thomas Tuchel made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' Panama is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' Jordan Henderson is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for England so far.
  • 46' Jose Fajardo gets the nod from Panama. He replaces Tomas Rodriguez and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 53' A moment of madness from Jose Fajardo on 53 minutes earns him a card. Panama will be frustrated.
  • 58' Michael Murillo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 61' That is a card for England. Jarell Quansah will be fuming at that decision.
  • 62' Brilliant from the ! Jude Bellingham makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 62.
  • 63' The England bench stirs into life. Jarell Quansah is withdrawn and Djed Spence gets his opportunity.
  • 64' Time for substitution for England. Bukayo Saka is replaced by Noni Madueke.
  • 67' Harry Kane doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 71' The Panama manager makes a substitution. Edgar Barcenas departs to be replaced by Ismael Diaz.
  • 76' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Tuchel might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 81' Jorge Gutierrez, a Panama , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 83' That is a card for Panama. Andres Andrade will be fuming at that decision.
  • 84' England ring the changes. Elliot Anderson has done his job and it is now time for Jordan Henderson to step up.
  • 88' Alberto Quintero has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlos Harvey on 88 minute.
  • 0-2 the final result. Panama will be bitterly disappointed.
