  • 12' Andrey Langovich is replacing Kirill Folmer for the FK Rostov side.
  • 13' Mateo Cassierra is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
  • 18' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 52' 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.
