Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Balzan FC is hosting SK Slovan Bratislava for another epic battle.
- 5' Kenan Bajric has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Milos Lepovic made 83 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 17' Balzan FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Bojan Kaljevic on 17.
- 22' SK Slovan Bratislava is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 27' SK Slovan Bratislava 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.
- 32' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 37' The travelling SK Slovan Bratislava supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 42' SK Slovan Bratislava is showing some good football. However, SK Slovan Bratislava are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' It is a substitution in SK Slovan Bratislava team. David Holman is replaced by Vukan Savicevic on 46 minute.
- 51' It looks surprising SK Slovan Bratislava does not make any changes. Uros Ljubomirac has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' 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 Aleksandar Cavric suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 63' Balzan FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alfred Effiong is hanging Bojan Kaljevic on the field on 63 minute.
