  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Odsonne Edouard is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Midtjylland.
  • 10' Ryan Christie needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 41 Yellow cards this season.
  • 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.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 26' It’s a booking for FC Midtjylland player. Henrik Dalsgaard gets a Yellow card.

  • 45' A change in the Celtic FC ranks — Liel Abada exits the field as Dane Murray enters on 45.
  • 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 426 games and scored 822 goals.
  • 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 56' Anders Dreyer was booked on 56.
  • 61' It is a cagey affair so far. Celtic FC in their trying to find a way past FC Midtjylland's compact .
