Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Stanford Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 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 Jacob Glesnes suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 13' Joseph Paintsil doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.

- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Timo Werner made 166 appearances and scored 116 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' Controversy at the stadium! Lucas Sanabria argues furiously but the card stands.
- 45' Julian Aude picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
