Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Portugal and Czechia are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. Czechia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 39' The referee shows Portugal player a card on 39.
  • 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Czechia that had 107 games and scored 14 goals.
  • 49' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 54' Portugal currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 57' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Patrik Schick.
  • 60' The Czechia manager makes a substitution. Ondrej Lingr departs to be replaced by Jan Kuchta.
  • 62' Lukas Provod makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Czechia are in front.
  • 63' Diogo Jota has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rafael Leao on 63 minute.
  • 68' The 25-year-old Pavel Sulc has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 69' What a moment for Robin Hranac! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 74' Czech Republic international Mojmir Chytil has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 79' A tactical swap from Czechia — Antonin Barak on, Lukas Provod off on 79 minutes.
  • 84' 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 Tomas Soucek suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Francisco Conceicao is booked for Portugal — card on 90.
  • 90' A change in the Portugal ranks — Vitinha exits the field as Francisco Conceicao enters on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Portugal players.
