Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Sweden and Slovakia is underway.
  • 5' Sweden 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.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lubomir Satka, as he is very good at scoring at Saint Petersburg Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sweden that had 105 games and scored 15 goals.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sweden needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 23' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kristoffer Olsson.
  • 28' It’s high time Janne Andersson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' Marek Hamsik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sebastian Larsson made 105 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 43' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 53' The travelling Slovakia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' It looks surprising Sweden does not make any changes. Kristoffer Olsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 63' 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 Martin Dubravka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' The whistle greets Kristoffer Olsson as he departs to be replaced by Viktor Claesson.
  • 65' It is a substitution in Slovakia team. Peter Pekarik is replaced by Lukas Haraslin on 65 minute.
  • 70' Sweden is showing some good football. However, Sweden are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 75' Juraj Kucka needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Martin Dubravka.
  • 77' It is a substitution in Slovakia team. Robert Mak is replaced by Vladimir Weiss on 77 minute.
  • 77' Goal! Emil Forsberg scores his 80 goal in 105 matches.
  • 80' The referee shows Slovakia player a Yellow card on 80.
  • 84' Michal Duris has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrik Hrosovsky on 84 minute.
