  • 15' Arsenal 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.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Shakhtar Donetsk that had 204 games and scored 101 goals.
  • 29' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Dmytro Riznyk makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 34' Arsenal FC player sees a card in front of him.

  • 77' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
