Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Levi's Stadium!
  • 5' Andres Cubas needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Australia has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Juan Caceres, as he is very good at scoring at Levi's Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' Australia looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 30' Cristian Volpato, a Italy , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' Paraguay 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.
  • 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Paraguay and Australia are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 45' 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.
  • 46' Another change for Paraguay made on 46 minute. Alexandro Maidana leaves to be changed by Mauricio.
  • 47' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jackson Irvine on 47.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 57' 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 Gustavo Velazquez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 58' The Australia bench stirs into life. Cristian Volpato is withdrawn and Ajdin Hrustic gets his opportunity.
  • 63' The home supporters are growing impatient. Paraguay must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 67' Alex Arce gets the nod from Paraguay. He replaces Gabriel Avalos and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 72' Australia international Connor Metcalfe has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 77' Paraguay receives a card for a hard tackle on 77.
  • 82' named a 5-4-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 84' Omar Alderete makes way for Jose Canale at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Paraguay.
  • 89' With 0 assists to his name this season, Patrick Beach is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Australia.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
