  • 0' The game is set. Olympique de Marseille kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 10' It is a cagey affair so far. Apollon FC Lemesos in their trying to find a way past Olympique de Marseille's compact .
