Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at . Sweden are looking to make home advantage count against England.
  • 5' England is showing some good football. However, England are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' The 41-year-old Ashley Young has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' Sweden international Markus Berg has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 20' Emil Forsberg has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sweden and England are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' GOAL! Harry Maguire fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Kyle Walker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 12 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sweden side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 50' Kieran Trippier has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' It’s high time Gareth Southgate made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 59' Magnificent from Dele Alli! That is 23 goals in 387 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 64' A quiet spell here at . England seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 65' John Guidetti is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ola Toivonen at the 65 minute mark.
  • 70' Raheem Sterling has been relatively quiet despite scoring 113 goals in his last 438 appearances.
  • 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sweden must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 77' Fabian Delph has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dele Alli on 77 minute.
  • 82' 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 Emil Krafth suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Another substitution for England to replace Jordan Henderson by Eric Dier on 85 minute.
  • 87' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Harry Maguire.
  • 88' A moment of madness from John Guidetti on 88 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sweden will be frustrated.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sebastian Larsson.
  • 90' Time for substitution for England. Raheem Sterling is replaced by Marcus Rashford.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for England players.
