Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Uruguay kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' Uruguay currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 25' With 2 assists to his name this season, Luis Suarez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Uruguay.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Uruguay and France are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 33' Lucas Hernandez has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 33.
  • 38' Rodrigo Bentancur has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 38.
  • 40' Against the run of play, Raphael Varane has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 45' France come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 50' Steven N'Zonzi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Uruguay side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 59' Maxi Gomez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Cristhian Stuani on 59 minute.
  • 61' What a strike from Antoine Griezmann! The score is 0-2.
  • 66' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 69' A moment of madness from Kylian Mbappe on 69 minutes earns him a Yellow card. France will be frustrated.
  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Jonathan Urretaviscaya. He replaces Nahitan Nandez on 73 minute.
  • 78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Corentin Tolisso made 546 appearances and scored 30 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' Steven N'Zonzi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Corentin Tolisso on 80 minute.
  • 85' Matias Vecino has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 88' Ousmane Dembele is replacing Kylian Mbappe for the France side.
  • 90' France make a change. Antoine Griezmann trudges off to be replaced by Nabil Fekir on 90 minutes.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for France players.
