Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Levi's Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Connor Metcalfe, as he is very good at scoring at Levi's Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Australia that had 11 games and scored 13 goals.
  • 15' Paraguay is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' Australia is showing some good football. However, Australia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 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' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Australia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' Patrick Beach has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Paraguay team. Alexandro Maidana is replaced by Mauricio on 46 minute.
  • 47' Jackson Irvine was booked on 47.
  • 52' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Australia winning 0% of all matches.
  • 57' The travelling Australia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' Time for substitution for Australia. Cristian Volpato is replaced by Ajdin Hrustic.
  • 63' 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 Gabriel Avalos suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' Paraguay manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alex Arce is hanging Gabriel Avalos on the field on 67 minute.
  • 72' Australia looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 77' Paraguay player sees a card in front of him.
  • 82' It looks like no one’s ball. Paraguay is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Paraguay team. Omar Alderete is replaced by Jose Canale on 84 minute.
  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Harry Souttar made 380 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
