  • 15' Janis Ikaunieks needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. BK Hacken needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Liepaja that had 48 games and scored 6 goals.
  • 40' FK Liepaja 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.
  • 44' It’s a booking for BK Hacken player. Kari Arkivuo gets a Yellow card.
  • 49' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 49 minutes.

  • 64' FK Liepaja manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Verners Apins is hanging Vladimirs Kamess on the field on 64 minute.
  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
