Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Uruguay and Russia.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Fernando Muslera made 163 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 9' It’s a booking for Russia player. Yury Gazinskiy gets a Yellow card.
  • 10' GOAL! Luis Suarez scores on 10.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Russia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 23' What an equalizer from Denis Cheryshev!
  • 27' The referee calls foul for Igor Smolnikov. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 32' 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.
  • 36' The referee shows Russia player a Red card on 36.
  • 38' Another change for Russia made on 38 minute. Denis Cheryshev leaves to be changed by Mario Fernandes.
  • 43' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 43 minutes.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Daler Kuzyaev. He replaces Yury Gazinskiy on 46 minute.
  • 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Russia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' Russia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 59' Rodrigo Bentancur is having his name booked by the referee on 59.
  • 60' Time for substitution for Russia. Aleksey Miranchuk is replaced by Fedor Smolov.
  • 63' The Uruguay manager makes a substitution. Rodrigo Bentancur departs to be replaced by Giorgian De Arrascaeta.
  • 68' It looks like no one’s ball. Russia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Cristian Rodriguez. He replaces Nahitan Nandez on 73 minute.
  • 78' It looks surprising Uruguay does not make any changes. Fedor Smolov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 83' Russia is showing some good football. However, Russia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 90' GOAL! Edinson Cavani scores on 90.
  • 90' Another change for Uruguay made on 90 minute. Edinson Cavani leaves to be changed by Maxi Gomez.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Uruguay players.
