- 0' We are underway at Celtic Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It’s high time Igor Jovicevic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Celtic 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.
- 15' 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 Cameron Carter-Vickers suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Shakhtar Donetsk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 31' FK Shakhtar Donetsk player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 34' Goal! Giorgos Giakoumakis scores his 56 goal in 127 matches.
- 39' FK Shakhtar Donetsk is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 44' Reo Hatate needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

- 50' FK Shakhtar Donetsk player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Shakhtar Donetsk that had 203 games and scored 100 goals.
- 56' It’s a booking for FK Shakhtar Donetsk player. Taras Stepanenko gets a Yellow card.
- 57' Time for substitution for FK Shakhtar Donetsk. Lassina Franck Traore is replaced by Danylo Sikan.
- 58' Goal! Mykhailo Mudryk scores his 9 goal in 203 matches.

- 76' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Greg Taylor made 260 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 84' The whistle greets Reo Hatate as he departs to be replaced by David Turnbull.
