Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Merkur Spiel-Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Volodymyr Brazhko needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 10' Ukraine started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' 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 Peter Pekarik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' Goal! Ivan Schranz scores his 12 goal in 2 matches.
  • 22' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 27' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Slovakia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 32' Slovakia is showing some good football. However, Slovakia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Anatolii Trubin made 203 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 47' 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.
  • 52' Ukraine looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Mykola Shaparenko scoring 1 goals.
  • 54' What an equalizer from Mykola Shaparenko!
  • 59' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mykhailo Mudryk, as he is very good at scoring at Merkur Spiel-Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' The supporters are chanting for Laszlo Benes. He replaces Ondrej Duda on 60 minute.
  • 65' Sergiy Sydorchuk has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Tomas Suslov. He replaces Lukas Haraslin on 67 minute.
  • 72' 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.
  • 77' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 80' Roman Yaremchuk puts Ukraine on the lead.
  • 84' The referee shows Ukraine player a card on 84.
  • 85' Ruslan Malinovskiy has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mykhailo Mudryk on 85 minute.
  • 86' Leo Sauer is replacing Ivan Schranz for the Slovakia side.
  • 90' Ukraine manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Maksym Taloverov is hanging Mykola Shaparenko on the field on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. Ukraine beats Slovakia
