Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Tunisia gets underway.

  • 7' Yasin Ayari has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 7 minutes.
  • 12' Tunisia come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 17' Ellyes Skhiri has been relatively quiet despite scoring 28 goals in his last 417 appearances.
  • 22' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tunisia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 27' Tunisia has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 30' The Sweden Alexander Isak breaks the deadlock on 30 minutes. 2-0!
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 43' What a strike from Omar Rekik! The score is 2-1.
  • 48' Kristoffer Nordfeldt is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sweden tonight.
  • 53' The 31-year-old Jesper Karlstrom has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 54' Controversy at the stadium! Rani Khedira argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 59' Viktor Gyokeres makes no mistake. The score reads 3-1 and Sweden are in front.
  • 64' Benjamin Nygren, a Sweden , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 65' Fresh legs for Sweden! Elliot Stroud comes on to replace Gabriel Gudmundsson.
  • 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Tunisia team. Elias Saad is replaced by Sebastian Tounekti on 72 minute.
  • 77' It looks surprising Sweden does not make any changes. Elias Saad has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 82' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 83' Fresh legs for Tunisia! Ismael Gharbi comes on to replace Rani Khedira.
  • 84' Mattias Svanberg makes no mistake. The score reads 4-1 and Sweden are in front.
  • 84' A tactical swap from Tunisia — Firas Chaouat on, Anis Ben Slimane off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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.
  • 90' It is a substitution in Sweden team. Alexander Isak is replaced by Anthony Elanga on 90 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sweden players.
