Events
Match Events

- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luis Suarez made 350 appearances and scored 55 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 46' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
