Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to BC Place that hosts another battle between Switzerland and Canada.
  • 5' The travelling Canada supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' It looks surprising Canada does not make any changes. Djibril Sow has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gregor Kobel, as he is very good at scoring at BC Place with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' It’s a booking for Canada player. Cyle Larin gets a card.
  • 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Switzerland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 42' Tajon Buchanan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 46' Switzerland is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ruben Vargas on 46.
  • 51' Nathan-Dylan Saliba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 56' 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 Jonathan David suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' Goal! Johan Manzambi scores his 8 goal in 493 matches.
  • 58' Liam Millar is replacing Ali Ahmed for the Canada side.
  • 63' It’s high time Jesse Marsch made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 68' 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.
  • 73' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 74' Tajon Buchanan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Promise Akinpelu on 74 minute.
  • 76' Goal! Promise Akinpelu scores his 21 goal in 231 matches.
  • 80' Switzerland manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dan Ndoye is hanging Ruben Vargas on the field on 80 minute.
