Events

Match Events

  • 0' Slovakia have kicked off against Ukraine. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' Volodymyr Brazhko has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 164 appearances.
  • 10' It’s high time Serhiy Rebrov made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Slovakia and Ukraine are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' Magnificent from Ivan Schranz! That is 12 goals in 2 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 22' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 27' Ukraine looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Mykola Shaparenko scoring 1 goals.
  • 32' David Hancko is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Slovakia so far.
  • 37' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Slovakia and Ukraine are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 42' It looks surprising Slovakia does not make any changes. Lukas Haraslin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 47' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Ukraine needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 52' Slovakia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 52.
  • 54' Mykola Shaparenko has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 54 minutes.
  • 59' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' Slovakia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Laszlo Benes is hanging Ondrej Duda on the field on 60 minute.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ukraine that had 151 games and scored 9 goals.
  • 67' Fresh legs for Slovakia! Tomas Suslov comes on to replace Lukas Haraslin.
  • 72' Denis Vavro has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 77' The home supporters are growing impatient. Slovakia must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 80' Roman Yaremchuk adds to his 2 season tally! Ukraine lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 84' The referee calls foul for Roman Yaremchuk. He receives a card.
  • 85' Ukraine ring the changes. Mykhailo Mudryk has done his job and it is now time for Ruslan Malinovskiy to step up.
  • 86' It is a substitution in Slovakia team. Ivan Schranz is replaced by Leo Sauer on 86 minute.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Ukraine team. Mykola Shaparenko is replaced by Maksym Taloverov on 90 minute.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Ukraine to claim maximum points.
