Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Senegal kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Senegal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Kamil Grosicki has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 12' It’s a booking for Poland player. Grzegorz Krychowiak gets a Yellow card.
  • 17' The 36-year-old Alfred Ndiaye has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 22' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Poland side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 32' It looks surprising Poland does not make any changes. Youssouf Sabaly has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' The travelling Senegal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' What a moment for Thiago Cionek! That strike on 38 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cheikh Ndoye made 430 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' The Poland bench stirs into life. Jakub Blaszczykowski is withdrawn and Jan Bednarek gets his opportunity.
  • 49' A meaty challenge results in booking for Salif Sane on 49.
  • 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' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' What an equalizer from Mbaye Niang!
  • 62' Cheikh Ndoye has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mame Birame Diouf on 62 minute.
  • 67' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 72' Idrissa Gana Gueye has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 72.
  • 73' Fresh legs for Poland! Dawid Kownacki comes on to replace Arkadiusz Milik.
  • 75' Senegal ring the changes. Mbaye Niang has done his job and it is now time for Moussa Konate to step up.
  • 80' 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.
  • 83' Time for substitution for Poland. Lukasz Piszczek is replaced by Bartosz Bereszynski.
  • 86' Assisted by Kamil Grosicki with the perfectly-timed delivery and Grzegorz Krychowiak makes no mistake. 2-1!
  • 86' It is a substitution in Senegal team. Alfred Ndiaye is replaced by Cheikhou Kouyate on 86 minute.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Senegal take all three points.
