Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Portugal to score. At the same time, Switzerland does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Manuel Akanji suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Switzerland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Eray Comert has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 17' What a strike from Goncalo Ramos! The score is 1-0.
  • 22' It looks surprising Portugal does not make any changes. Fabian Schar has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 32' The travelling Switzerland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 54' The supporters are chanting for Denis Zakaria. He replaces Remo Freuler on 54 minute.
  • 55' Switzerland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Denis Zakaria is hanging Remo Freuler on the field on 55 minute.
  • 55' What a strike from Raphael Guerreiro! The score is 4-0.
  • 58' What a strike from Manuel Akanji! The score is 4-1.
  • 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Eray Comert on 59.
  • 64' 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.

  • 67' Goal! Goncalo Ramos scores his 75 goal in 467 matches.

  • 86' Switzerland is showing some good football. However, Switzerland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
