Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Eden Park that hosts another battle between Spain and Zambia.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spain that had 13 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 9' What a strike from Teresa! The score is 1-0.
  • 13' GOAL! Jenni Hermoso scores on 13. Assisted by Alexia Putellas
  • 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' 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 Mary Wilombe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Zambia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 36' Mary Wilombe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Susan Banda on 36 minute.
  • 41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alexia Putellas made 13 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Spain team. Ona Batlle is replaced by Oihane Hernandez on 46 minute.
  • 51' Mariona Caldentey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Irene Guerrero is hanging Aitana Bonmati on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' Zambia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
  • 69' Goal! Alba Redondo scores his 3 goal in 13 matches.
  • 72' GOAL! Jenni Hermoso scores on 72.
  • 76' The whistle greets Lushomo Mweemba as he departs to be replaced by Vast Phiri.
  • 81' Zambia seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Athenea. He replaces Mariona Caldentey on 83 minute.
  • 86' Alba Redondo with the second goal in the match!
  • 90' Ochumba Lubandji is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Spain players.
