Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at SoFi Stadium!
- 5' Michael Gregoritsch has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' Spain are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' 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.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Spain must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' Spain are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Austria backline.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Carney Chukwuemeka made 357 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Spain and Austria are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 36' Mikel Oyarzabal has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 36 minutes.
- 41' named a 4-1-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 46' Xaver Schlager makes way for Florian Grillitsch at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Austria.
- 51' Alexander Prass, a Austria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 56' 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 Marko Arnautovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Marko Arnautovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Michael Gregoritsch on 60 minute.
- 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Spain and Austria are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 66' A goal from the Spain international Pedro Porro! He fires home on 66 to make it 2-0!
- 71' The Spain bench stirs into life. Alex Baena is withdrawn and Ferran Torres gets his opportunity.
- 76' It looks surprising Austria does not make any changes. Dani Olmo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 81' Cucurella is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Austria so far.
- 83' A moment of madness from Stefan Posch on 83 minutes earns him a card. Austria will be frustrated.
- 85' The Spain manager makes a substitution. Lamine Yamal departs to be replaced by Pablo Gavira.
- 89' Against the run of play, Mikel Oyarzabal has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 90' Marc Pubill gets the nod from Spain. He replaces Aymeric Laporte and will look to change the dynamic.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Spain and Austria (для сухой ничьи).
