Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Scotland host Morocco — let the battle begin!
  • 2' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ismael Saibari makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 7' 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.
  • 12' Morocco come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 17' Scotland 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.
  • 22' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Issa Diop on 23.
  • 28' Morocco started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
  • 33' Morocco has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 38' Over 38 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 43' A quiet spell here at Gillette Stadium. Morocco seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 48' Morocco fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Scotland is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 58' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Steve Clarke will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' The Scotland manager makes a substitution. Kieran Tierney departs to be replaced by Ben Doak.
  • 65' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Andrew Robertson on 65 minutes.
  • 70' Morocco is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 71' A tactical swap from Scotland — Kenny McLean on, Ryan Christie off on 71 minutes.
  • 76' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ross Stewart is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Morocco.
  • 81' Scotland are deployed in a 3-5-2 today, looking to exploit space against Morocco's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 83' Fresh legs for Morocco! Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab comes on to replace Brahim Diaz.
  • 88' The whistle greets Nathan Patterson as he departs to be replaced by Anthony Ralston.
  • 89' Anthony Ralston gets the nod from Scotland. He replaces Nathan Patterson and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Anthony Ralston.
  • 90' A change in the Morocco ranks — Azzedine Ounahi exits the field as Samir El Mourabet enters on 90.
  • The points are shared — Scotland 0-1 Morocco. Honours even.
