- 0' Welcome to Neo GSP that hosts another battle between Apollon FC Lemesos and FC Saburtalo.
- 3' What composure from Bagaliy Dabo! The France international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 8' It looks surprising FC Saburtalo does not make any changes. Tera Alwyn has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 13' Both keepers have barely been tested. Apollon FC Lemesos and FC Saburtalo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 18' Supporters expect more eagerness from Florentin Matei, as he is very good at scoring at Neo GSP with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Saburtalo that had 7 games and scored 9 goals.
- 28' Gagi Margvelashvili has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Gagi Margvelashvili on 29 minutes.
- 32' Against the run of play, Bagaliy Dabo has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 37' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Olivier Boumal.
- 39' FC Saburtalo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
- 44' Valentin Roberge is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Apollon FC Lemesos so far.
- 49' FC Saburtalo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

- 63' Giorgi Guliashvili is ready to make an impact after coming on for Jeroen Lumu at the 63 minute mark.

- 69' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Beka Kavtaradze makes it 3-1.
- 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 Olivier Boumal suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Fresh legs for Apollon FC Lemesos! Petros Psychas comes on to replace Florentin Matei.
