Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. France kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Portugal that had 121 games and scored 40 goals.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with France winning 100% of all matches.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rafael Leao, as he is very good at scoring at Volksparkstadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' France 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' Bradley Barcola has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 45' It looks surprising France does not make any changes. Youssouf Fofana has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 50' France looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 55' 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.
- 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
- 65' It’s high time Didier Deschamps made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 67' The France manager makes a substitution. Antoine Griezmann departs to be replaced by Ousmane Dembele.
- 72' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 74' Nelson Semedo is replacing Joao Cancelo for the Portugal side.
- 79' It’s gonna be a card for Joao Palhinha.
- 84' France player sees a card in front of him.
- 86' Time for substitution for France. Randal Kolo Muani is replaced by Marcus Thuram-Ulien.
- 90' Ruben Neves is replacing Joao Palhinha for the Portugal side.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-5.
