Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Turkey kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Turkey are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Croatia's shape.
  • 10' Turkey are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Hakan Calhanoglu, a Turkey , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' Croatia 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.
  • 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Turkey and Croatia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 30' It’s high time Ante Cacic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 31' The referee has no hesitation. Cenk Tosun is booked for Turkey — Yellow card on 31.
  • 36' Both keepers have barely been tested. Turkey and Croatia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 41' GOAL! Luka Modric fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 46' The crowd applauds Oguzhan Ozyakup as he leaves the pitch. Volkan Sen steps in for Turkey.
  • 48' Hakan Balta has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 48.
  • 53' It looks like no one’s ball. Turkey is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 58' Volkan Babacan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 19 appearances.
  • 63' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 65' Burak Yilmaz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Arda Turan at the 65 minute mark.
  • 69' It is a substitution in Turkey team. Cenk Tosun is replaced by Emre Mor on 69 minute.
  • 74' Ivan Strinic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Croatia tonight.
  • 79' Over 79 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 80' That is a Yellow card for Croatia. Ivan Strinic will be fuming at that decision.
  • 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 87' Another change for Croatia made on 87 minute. Ivan Perisic leaves to be changed by Andrej Kramaric.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Volkan Sen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 90' Another change for Croatia made on 90 minute. Ivan Rakitic leaves to be changed by Gordon Schildenfeld.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Turkey.
