Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Costa Rica and Serbia is underway.
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Filip Kostic made 513 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' It’s high time Mladen Krstajic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
- 22' It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Francisco Calvo gets a Yellow card.
- 27' Serbia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 32' The travelling Serbia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' It looks like no one’s ball. Serbia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 47' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 56' Goal! Aleksandar Kolarov scores his 20 goal in 524 matches.
- 56' David Guzman was booked on 56.
- 59' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Branislav Ivanovic.
- 60' It is a substitution in Costa Rica team. Johan Venegas is replaced by Cristian Bolanos on 60 minute.
- 65' It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. David Guzman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 66' Another substitution for Costa Rica to replace Marcos Urena by Joel Campbell on 66 minute.
- 70' The whistle greets Adem Ljajic as he departs to be replaced by Filip Kostic.
- 73' Daniel Colindres is replacing David Guzman for the Costa Rica side.
- 78' 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.
- 82' Another change for Serbia made on 82 minute. Dusan Tadic leaves to be changed by Antonio Rukavina.
- 87' 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.
- 89' The whistle greets Aleksandar Mitrovic as he departs to be replaced by Aleksandar Prijovic.
- 90' Serbia player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Serbia players.
