- 0' We are underway at Tsentralniy. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Celtic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Liam Scales made 24 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Celtic FC 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.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Kairat that had 16 games and scored 18 goals.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Valeriy Gromyko, as he is very good at scoring at Tsentralniy with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 35' FK Kairat is showing some good football. However, FK Kairat are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 45' Celtic FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Kairat is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 55' It looks surprising FK Kairat does not make any changes. Egor Sorokin has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 63' The FK Kairat manager makes a substitution. Dan Glazer departs to be replaced by Damir Kasabulat.
- 68' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Kairat needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 75' Another change for Celtic FC made on 75 minute. Kieran Tierney leaves to be changed by Dane Murray.
- 80' It is a substitution in FK Kairat team. Ricardinho is replaced by Ramazan Bagdat on 80 minute.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
