Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Finland and Russia has kicked off!
- 5' It’s high time Markku Kanerva made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Georgii Dzhikiya has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 28 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' 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 Daniel O'Shaughnessy suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 22' Finland player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 25' Another change for Russia made on 25 minute. Mario Fernandes leaves to be changed by Vyacheslav Karavaev.
- 26' Russia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Vyacheslav Karavaev is hanging Mario Fernandes on the field on 26 minute.
- 27' The referee calls foul for Dmitrii Barinov. He receives a Yellow card.
- 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paulus Arajuuri made 17 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Magomed Ozdoev on 34.
- 39' It looks surprising Finland does not make any changes. Daler Kuzyaev has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 47' What a strike from Aleksei Miranchuk! The score is 0-1.
- 52' Aleksandr Sobolev needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 57' 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.
- 61' Rifat Zhemaletdinov is replacing Magomed Ozdoev for the Russia side.
- 66' 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.
- 67' Joni Kauko is replacing Rasmus Schuller for the Finland side.
- 68' Joni Kauko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rasmus Schuller on 68 minute.
- 73' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Finland that had 3 games and scored 2 goals.
- 75' The supporters are chanting for Pyry Soiri. He replaces Jukka Raitala on 75 minute.
- 76' Lassi Lappalainen is replacing Teemu Pukki for the Finland side.
- 81' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jere Uronen, as he is very good at scoring at Saint Petersburg Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 85' It is a substitution in Finland team. Joona Toivio is replaced by Fredrik Jensen on 85 minute.
- 86' Another change for Russia made on 86 minute. Aleksei Miranchuk leaves to be changed by Maksim Mukhin.
