Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and United States launch into their encounter with Australia.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 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.
  • 11' GOAL! Cameron Burgess scores on 11.
  • 16' It’s gonna be a card for Jordan Bos.
  • 21' Australia come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 26' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 31' Australia are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 32' Australia receives a card for a hard tackle on 32.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' 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 Paul Okon-Engstler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' Alex Freeman does the damage! The net is bulging and United States surge ahead!
  • 46' Australia make a change. Cameron Burgess trudges off to be replaced by Jason Geria on 46 minutes.

  • 56' The referee shows United States player a card on 56.
  • 61' The Australia bench stirs into life. Mathew Leckie is withdrawn and Cristian Volpato gets his opportunity.
  • 66' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 71' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both United States and Australia are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 74' United States ring the changes. Ricardo Pepi has done his job and it is now time for Sebastian Berhalter to step up.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Australia — Jackson Irvine on, Paul Okon-Engstler off on 78 minutes.
  • 80' Time for substitution for United States. Sergino Dest is replaced by Joseph Scally.
  • 85' A quiet spell here at Lumen Field. United States seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 89' Australia player sees a card in front of him.
  • 90' The whistle greets Folarin Balogun as he departs to be replaced by Haji Wright.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Chris Richards on 90 minutes.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for United States and Australia (для сухой ничьи).
