Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Generali Arena will turn into a battlefield for AC Sparta Praha and Aris Limassol.
- 5' 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.
- 9' Ladislav Krejci is having his name booked by the referee on 9.
- 11' Aris Limassol is taking the lead after the goal scored by Aleksandr Kokorin on 11.
- 16' AC Sparta Praha is showing some good football. However, AC Sparta Praha are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' What a strike from Ladislav Krejci! The score is 1-1.
- 25' Sensational shot from Ladislav Krejci. AC Sparta Praha is back in the lead.
- 30' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 31' Another change for AC Sparta Praha made on 31 minute. Kaan Kairinen leaves to be changed by Lukas Sadilek.
- 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
- 41' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 46' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 51' 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.
- 56' AC Sparta Praha seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 61' Qazim Laci has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 65' Another change for AC Sparta Praha made on 65 minute. Jan Kuchta leaves to be changed by Adam Karabec.
- 66' Morgan Brown is replacing Julius Szoke for the Aris Limassol side.
- 67' Goal! Martin Vitik scores his 1 goal in 46 matches.
- 69' The referee calls foul for Aleksandr Kokorin. He receives a card.
- 74' 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 Kaan Kairinen suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Time for substitution for Aris Limassol. Aleksandr Kokorin is replaced by Mariusz Stepinski.
- 77' The supporters are chanting for David Pavelka. He replaces Qazim Laci on 77 minute.
- 78' Vaclav Sejk has so much to prove this time. He replaces Victor Olatunji on 78 minute.

- 85' It is a substitution in Aris Limassol team. Leo Bengtsson is replaced by Jaden Montnor on 85 minute.
- 87' AC Sparta Praha receives a card for a hard tackle on 87.

- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for AC Sparta Praha players.
