Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Estadio de La Cartuja as Slovakia face off against Spain in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' Gerard Moreno has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 10' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 12' Ondrej Duda was booked on 12.
  • 17' 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.
  • 22' Lukas Haraslin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' Martin Dubravka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 30 minutes.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' Busquets was booked on 40.
  • 45' A quiet spell here at Estadio de La Cartuja. Slovakia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Slovakia — Stanislav Lobotka on, Jakub Hromada off on 46 minutes.
  • 48' Magnificent from Aymeric Laporte! That is 14 goals in 444 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 53' The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' Assisted by Jordi Alba with the perfectly-timed delivery and Pablo Sarabia makes no mistake. 0-3!
  • 60' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jordi Alba.
  • 61' It’s a booking for Spain player. Jordi Alba gets a Yellow card.
  • 66' Another substitution for Spain to replace Alvaro Morata by Ferran Torres on 66 minute.
  • 67' Goal! Ferran Torres scores his 81 goal in 429 matches.
  • 69' Vladimir Weiss is replacing Robert Mak for the Slovakia side.
  • 71' What a moment for Juraj Kucka! That strike on 71 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 71' A change in the Spain ranks — Busquets exits the field as Thiago Alcantara enters on 71.
  • 72' A change in the Spain ranks — Eric Garcia exits the field as Pau Torres enters on 72.
  • 77' Fresh legs for Spain! Adama Traore comes on to replace Gerard Moreno.
  • 82' 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 Lubomir Satka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' Azpilicueta is a natural centre-back and has been asked to do a very specific job for Spain tonight.
  • 90' Milan Skriniar has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • 90' Laszlo Benes is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marek Hamsik at the 90 minute mark.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Slovakia.
