- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' Issam Jebali picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 35' Celtic FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Rosenborg BK's shape.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yann-Erik de Lanlay made 176 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Anders Konradsen makes way for Marius Lundemo at the 45 minute mark. A tactical switch from Rosenborg BK.
- 50' A quiet spell here at . Rosenborg BK seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
