Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to BC Place that hosts another battle between Switzerland and Algeria.
  • 5' Algeria are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' The Switzerland Breel Embolo breaks the deadlock on 10 minutes. 1-0!
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Switzerland and Algeria are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 25' Algeria 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.
  • 30' Algeria are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' 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 Denis Zakaria suffering a number of foals already.
  • 36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fares Chaibi on 36.
  • 41' Algeria international Luca Zidane has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 46' The deadlock is broken! Dan Ndoye gets on the scoresheet on 46 minutes.
  • 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Switzerland winning 100% of all matches.
  • 56' The travelling Algeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' A change in the Algeria ranks — Houssem Aouar exits the field as Jaouen Hadjam enters on 58.
  • 63' Both keepers have barely been tested. Switzerland and Algeria are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 68' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Ruben Vargas as he leaves the pitch. Fabian Rieder steps in for Switzerland.
  • 72' Hicham Boudaoui catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 72.
  • 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Switzerland that had 29 games and scored 41 goals.
  • 82' Adil Boulbina has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rafik Belghali on 82 minute.
  • 87' Switzerland ring the changes. Denis Zakaria has done his job and it is now time for Silvan Widmer to step up.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Switzerland 2-0 Algeria.
