  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Drita KF Gjilan side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Zekirija Ramadani will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' 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 Tomas Svedkauskas suffering a number of foals already.
  • 44' Drita KF Gjilan player sees a card in front of him.

  • 82' Vykintas Slivka makes no mistake. The score reads 2-2 and FK Kauno Zalgiris are in front.
  • 87' The 28-year-old Amine Benchaib has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
