Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Romania gets underway.
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Netherlands winning 100% of all matches.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Netherlands that had 16 games and scored 35 goals.
  • 15' 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 Daley Blind suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' GOAL! Cody Gakpo scores on 20. Assisted by Xavi Simons
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Romania is showing some good football. However, Romania are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 38' Bogdan Racovitan is replacing Vasile Mogos for the Romania side.
  • 43' It looks like no one’s ball. Romania is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Donyell Malen. He replaces Steven Bergwijn on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Andrei Ratiu needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 61' Romania started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
  • 66' The travelling Netherlands supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 67' Marius Mihai Marin is having his name booked by the referee on 67.
  • 69' The Netherlands manager makes a substitution. Nathan Ake departs to be replaced by Mickey van de Ven.
  • 72' The Romania manager makes a substitution. Denis Dragus departs to be replaced by Valentin Mihaila.
  • 77' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 78' The referee shows Netherlands player a card on 78.
  • 81' It’s a booking for Romania player. Nicolae Stanciu gets a card.
  • 83' What a strike from Donyell Malen! The score is 0-2.
  • 84' Another substitution for Netherlands to replace Cody Gakpo by Wout Weghorst on 84 minute.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Romania. Nicolae Stanciu is replaced by Darius Olaru.
  • 90' Netherlands player sees a card in front of him.
  • 90' The whistle greets Memphis Depay as he departs to be replaced by Daley Blind.
