Updated scores are displayed automatically throughout each match.

The Schedule shows group stage tables and results of each match in the groups, with an arrow click through to the knockout stages of the tournament. This data is updated automatically after each match. For Last 16 matches and later click on the red button in the middle to expand the view.

For each match on the schedule you can then see the Matchtracker for that match.Matchtrackers can also be selected from the Latest page.

Matchtrackers are available for every match. Before the match the squad and head-to-head statistics are shown. On matchday, team selections and formations are shown, and during the match, the highlights (goals, yellow or red cards, substitutions) are shown on a timeline, updated live, with live statistics.
