Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. FK Kairat get us underway at Almaty Central Stadium.
  • 5' Omonia Nicosia 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.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. FK Kairat must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' FK Kairat are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Omonia Nicosia's shape.
  • 24' That looks like a foul for a card for Oiva Jukkola.
  • 29' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ismail Bekbolat is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Omonia Nicosia.
  • 34' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FK Kairat side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 36' Fresh legs for FK Kairat! Ismail Bekbolat comes on to replace Lev Kurgin.
  • 37' The Edmilson breaks the deadlock on 37 minutes. 1-0!
  • 41' Aleksandr Mrynskiy picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 46' A quiet spell here at Almaty Central Stadium. Omonia Nicosia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 51' It looks like no one’s ball. Omonia Nicosia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. FK Kairat and Omonia Nicosia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 61' FK Kairat has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 66' Oiva Jukkola has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aleksandr Mrynskiy made 19 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 72' A tactical swap from FK Kairat — Azamat Tuyakbaev on, Ismail Bekbolat off on 72 minutes.
  • 77' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Kairat that had 19 games and scored 21 goals.
  • 80' Fresh legs for FK Kairat! Mansur Birkurmanov comes on to replace Oiva Jukkola.
  • 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 90' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rafael Urazbakhtin might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
