Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Poland 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.
  • 10' Arkadiusz Milik needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 12' A meaty challenge results in booking for Grzegorz Krychowiak on 12.
  • 17' Alfred Ndiaye has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 22' Senegal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
  • 27' Senegal is showing some good football. However, Senegal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 32' It looks surprising Senegal does not make any changes. Wojciech Szczesny has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' 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.
  • 38' Goal! Thiago Cionek scores his 2 goal in 236 matches.
  • 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 46' Poland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jan Bednarek is hanging Jakub Blaszczykowski on the field on 46 minute.
  • 49' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Salif Sane.
  • 54' It looks like no one’s ball. Senegal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' Goal! Mbaye Niang scores his 36 goal in 422 matches.
  • 62' Senegal manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Cheikh Ndoye is hanging Mame Birame Diouf on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Poland that had 111 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 72' Senegal receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 72.
  • 73' Dawid Kownacki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Arkadiusz Milik on 73 minute.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Senegal. Mbaye Niang is replaced by Moussa Konate.
  • 80' Poland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 83' Another change for Poland made on 83 minute. Lukasz Piszczek leaves to be changed by Bartosz Bereszynski.
