  • 0' Welcome to Kopavogsvollur that hosts another battle between Breidablik UBK and Shamrock Rovers FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shamrock Rovers FC that had 24 games and scored 30 goals.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Shamrock Rovers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 16' Jason Dadi Svanthorsson puts Breidablik UBK on the lead.
  • 21' It looks like no one’s ball. Shamrock Rovers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 26' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 31' It looks surprising Breidablik UBK does not make any changes. Graham Burke has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 36' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 36 minutes.
  • 41' 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 Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' Breidablik UBK 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.
  • 51' The travelling Shamrock Rovers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andri Yeoman made 15 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 57' Goal! Hoskuldur Gunnlaugsson scores his 7 goal in 15 matches.
  • 62' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 65' Goal! Graham Burke scores his 7 goal in 378 matches.
  • 70' Shamrock Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aaron Greene is hanging Markus Poom on the field on 70 minute.
  • 75' The referee shows Breidablik UBK player a card on 75.
  • 78' Time for substitution for Shamrock Rovers FC. Graham Burke is replaced by Johnny Kenny.
  • 81' Time for substitution for Breidablik UBK. Alexander Sigurdarson is replaced by David Ingvarsson.
  • 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 87' Lee Grace has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ronan Finn on 87 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Breidablik UBK players.
