- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Crusaders FC and NK Olimpija Ljubljana has kicked off!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomislav Tomic made 183 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering NK Olimpija Ljubljana that had 183 games and scored 53 goals.
- 15' What a strike from Nik Kapun! The score is 0-1.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' Crusaders FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' 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 Stefan Savic suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' 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.

- 61' David Cushley is replacing Kyle Owens for the Crusaders FC side.
- 66' Crusaders FC is showing some good football. However, Crusaders FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 73' Ross Clarke is replacing Paul Heatley for the Crusaders FC side.
- 76' Asmir Suljic is replacing Stefan Savic for the NK Olimpija Ljubljana side.
