- 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks surprising FC Progres Niederkorn does not make any changes. Ronan Hurley has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' 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 Sebastien Thill suffering a number of foals already.
- 11' What a strike from Belmin Muratovic! The score is 0-1.
- 16' It’s high time Roland Vrabec made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 40' Cork City FC is showing some good football. However, Cork City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Conor McCarthy made 161 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Progres Niederkorn needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 52' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Dan Casey.
- 57' 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.
