Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Sweden and South Korea.
  • 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' It looks like no one’s ball. South Korea is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 12' Kim Shinwook is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
  • 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ludwig Augustinsson made 105 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 22' 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.

  • 28' Time for substitution for Korea Republic. Park Jooho is replaced by Kim Minwoo.
  • 33' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 38' 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.
  • 43' Sweden started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 43.
  • 48' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 55' Korea Republic receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 55.
  • 60' It’s high time Janne Andersson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
