- 0' KICK OFF: AS Omonia Lefkosia gets underway.
- 5' Radja Nainggolan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 491 appearances.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' Royal Antwerp FC is showing some good football. However, Royal Antwerp FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Antwerp FC that had 310 games and scored 445 goals.
- 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both AS Omonia Lefkosia and Royal Antwerp FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 26' Johannes Eggestein puts Royal Antwerp FC on the lead.
- 31' AS Omonia Lefkosia are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Royal Antwerp FC backline.
- 36' 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 Jean Butez suffering a number of foals already.
- 41' Royal Antwerp FC 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.
- 42' A meaty challenge results in booking for Pieter Gerkens on 42.
- 43' Loizos Loizou makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and AS Omonia Lefkosia are in front.
- 48' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jordi Gomez is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Royal Antwerp FC.
- 49' Against the run of play, Andronikos Kakoullis has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 54' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 56' What an equalizer from Loizos Loizou!
- 60' Another substitution for Royal Antwerp FC to replace Benson Manuel by Radja Nainggolan on 60 minute.
- 62' The Japan Koji Miyoshi breaks the deadlock on 62 minutes. 3-2!
- 67' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 68' A meaty challenge results in booking for Koji Miyoshi on 68.
- 73' Iyayi Atiemwen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andronikos Kakoullis at the 73 minute mark.
- 77' Royal Antwerp FC ring the changes. Jelle Bataille has done his job and it is now time for Buta to step up.
- 81' A tactical swap from AS Omonia Lefkosia — Michal Duris on, Fotis Papoulis off on 81 minutes.
- 83' The referee calls foul for Abdoulaye Seck. He receives a Yellow card.
- 84' Against the run of play, Iyayi Atiemwen has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 89' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
