  • 8' What a strike from Aleksandar Katai! The score is 1-0.
  • 13' 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 Nicholas Pozo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 16' Goal! Mirko Ivanic scores his 13 goal in 125 matches.
  • 21' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 31' FK Crvena Zvezda is showing some good football. However, FK Crvena Zvezda are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 36' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Graeme Torrilla made 37 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 37' Goal! Bruno Duarte scores his 39 goal in 394 matches.
  • 42' FK Crvena Zvezda seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 46' The whistle greets Juanje as he departs to be replaced by Nicholas Pozo.
