Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Ukraine and Belgium is underway.
- 5' Ukraine is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Belgium 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.
- 20' The travelling Belgium supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Belgium winning 0% of all matches.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vitalii Mykolenko made 164 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' Leandro Trossard needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 43' It’s gonna be a card for Wout Faes.
- 48' Supporters expect more eagerness from Timothy Castagne, as he is very good at scoring at Mercedes-Benz Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 53' It’s high time Domenico Tedesco made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 58' Another substitution for Ukraine to replace Vitalii Mykolenko by Oleksandr Zinchenko on 58 minute.
- 62' Time for substitution for Belgium. Youri Tielemans is replaced by Orel Mangala.
- 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Ukraine that had 151 games and scored 9 goals.
- 69' Artem Dovbyk was booked on 69.
- 70' Another change for Ukraine made on 70 minute. Volodymyr Brazhko leaves to be changed by Taras Stepanenko.
- 75' 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.
- 77' Belgium manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Johan Bakayoko is hanging Jeremy Doku on the field on 77 minute.
- 81' Andrii Yarmolenko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Oleksandr Svatok on 81 minute.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' Another substitution for Belgium to replace Romelu Lukaku by Lois Openda on 90 minute.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
