Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to BC Place that hosts another battle between Switzerland and Algeria.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' Breel Embolo doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Algeria that had 4 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 20' Algeria is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' Switzerland 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' 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 Rayan Ait Nouri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The travelling Algeria supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 36' Fares Chaibi catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 36.
  • 41' Jaouen Hadjam, a Algeria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 46' What composure from Dan Ndoye! The Switzerland international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 51' Algeria have won 5 goals from 4 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 56' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Switzerland and Algeria are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 58' The supporters are chanting for Jaouen Hadjam. He replaces Houssem Aouar on 58 minute.
  • 63' 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.
  • 68' Switzerland are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 71' Fabian Rieder is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ruben Vargas at the 71 minute mark.
  • 72' That is a card for Algeria. Hicham Boudaoui will be fuming at that decision.
  • 77' Switzerland has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 82' A change in the Algeria ranks — Rafik Belghali exits the field as Adil Boulbina enters on 82.
  • 87' Silvan Widmer is replacing Denis Zakaria for the Switzerland side.
  • Algeria will have plenty to reflect on. Switzerland were simply the better side today.
