Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Slovakia and Ukraine is underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Milan Skriniar made 485 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Ukraine winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Slovakia and Ukraine are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 17' Ivan Schranz doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 22' Volodymyr Brazhko has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 27' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mykhailo Mudryk is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Slovakia.
  • 32' Ukraine come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 37' Slovakia are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 42' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 47' Ukraine has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 52' Slovakia are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Ukraine backline.
  • 54' What a moment for Mykola Shaparenko! That strike on 54 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 59' 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.
  • 60' A change in the Slovakia ranks — Ondrej Duda exits the field as Laszlo Benes enters on 60.
  • 65' 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.
  • 67' Tomas Suslov is replacing Lukas Haraslin for the Slovakia side.
  • 72' Ukraine looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Mykola Shaparenko scoring 1 goals.
  • 77' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 80' The Ukraine Roman Yaremchuk breaks the deadlock on 80 minutes. 1-2!
  • 84' Ukraine receives a card for a hard tackle on 84.
  • 85' Ruslan Malinovskiy is ready to make an impact after coming on for Mykhailo Mudryk at the 85 minute mark.
  • 86' Leo Sauer is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ivan Schranz at the 86 minute mark.
  • 90' The Ukraine bench stirs into life. Mykola Shaparenko is withdrawn and Maksym Taloverov gets his opportunity.
  • Ukraine celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
