Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Gillette Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 2' Morocco is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ismael Saibari on 2.
  • 7' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 7 minutes.
  • 12' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Morocco needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 22' Morocco started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
  • 23' That looks like a foul for a card for Issa Diop.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Scotland that had 8 games and scored 10 goals.
  • 33' Morocco is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' Morocco 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.
  • 43' 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.
  • 48' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 53' Scotland is showing some good football. However, Scotland are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 58' Ryan Christie has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 43 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' The whistle greets Kieran Tierney as he departs to be replaced by Ben Doak.
  • 65' That looks like a foul for a card for Andrew Robertson.
  • 70' Chadi Riad needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 71' The Scotland manager makes a substitution. Ryan Christie departs to be replaced by Kenny McLean.
  • 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Issa Diop made 341 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 83' The Morocco manager makes a substitution. Brahim Diaz departs to be replaced by Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab.
  • 88' Another substitution for Scotland to replace Nathan Patterson by Anthony Ralston on 88 minute.
  • 89' Anthony Ralston has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nathan Patterson on 89 minute.
  • 90' Anthony Ralston is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Morocco team. Azzedine Ounahi is replaced by Samir El Mourabet on 90 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
