- 50' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FK Krasnodar side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 55' 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 Sergey Volkov suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 65' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 75' It looks surprising FK Nizhny Novgorod does not make any changes. Dmitriy Stotskiy has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 80' FK Nizhny Novgorod fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 85' FK Krasnodar are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FK Nizhny Novgorod backline.
