- 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 25' Celtic FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 35' Scott Brown needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' The deadlock is broken! Odsonne Edouard gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
- 47' The deadlock is broken! Odsonne Edouard gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
- 47' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Artur Yedigaryan.

- 55' Alashkert FC ring the changes. Uros Nenadovic has done his job and it is now time for Cesar Romero to step up.
