Can I record content available only behind red button?

I want to record tonight's Poland v Sweden football match. Apparently it will be shown live on Sky Sports interactive, presumably on channel 407 which is showing the other finals qualifier between Portugal and Macedonia. I have looked at the various "multi events" channels but can't see this event. I assume it will be available to watch live via the red button. Is it possible to record this event?

@ianmerseyside

The method of recording red button events on Sky Q has very recently changed (with software update Q19). You now need to go onto the EPG, go to the live match and choose that. Before it would give you a list of red button matches but now you have go down and choose ‘On This Week’ where the other games are and from there you can set a recording on the other matches.

@ianmerseyside in addition to @Daniel0210 post above which is for q boxes only

if you have a sky + hd go to the epg as above find any channel which has a football game on (401,402,403,407,408) any of the listed channels will record red button games

so search for any game tonight highlight it and hit the record button and select the game from the list that will appear

Thanks @SKY1992bf and @Daniel0210 . I have a Sky Q box and found it, as suggested, via "on this week" after selecting record on the live Portugal v Macedonia match.

@SKY1992bf

Thanks for that. I've edited my reply to reflect it's for Q.
