Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Portugal vs Uzbekistan — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 6' Cristiano Ronaldo makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Portugal are in front.
  • 11' Portugal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 11.
  • 14' That is a card for Uzbekistan. Odiljon Hamrobekov will be fuming at that decision.
  • 17' Magnificent from Nuno Mendes! That is 12 goals in 513 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 22' Portugal are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Uzbekistan backline.
  • 27' It looks surprising Portugal does not make any changes. Joao Felix has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 29' The deadlock is broken! Azizjon Ganiev gets on the scoresheet on 29 minutes.
  • 34' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 38' What a moment for Cristiano Ronaldo! That strike on 38 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 39' Cristiano Ronaldo has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 39 minutes.
  • 44' Over 44 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 46' The Uzbekistan bench stirs into life. Sherzod Nasrullayev is withdrawn and Khodjiakbar Alijonov gets his opportunity.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' The travelling Uzbekistan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' GOAL! Abdukodir Khusanov scores on 60.
  • 65' Uzbekistan international Abbosbek Fayzullaev has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 68' Portugal receives a card for a hard tackle on 68.
  • 73' Uzbekistan make a change. Abbosbek Fayzullaev trudges off to be replaced by Igor Sergeev on 73 minutes.
  • 76' Another change for Portugal made on 76 minute. Joao Neves leaves to be changed by Bernardo Silva.
  • 81' It looks like no one’s ball. Uzbekistan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 83' Rafael Leao has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vitinha on 83 minute.
  • 87' What composure from Rafael Leao! The Portugal international strokes it home. 5-2.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Portugal to claim maximum points.
