Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FK Sarajevo gets underway.
- 5' FK Sarajevo 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' Hatem Abd Elhamed is replacing Nir Bitton for the Celtic FC side.
- 15' The travelling Celtic FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Celtic FC is showing some good football. However, Celtic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' Selmir Pidro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' 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 Nir Bitton suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' It’s high time Vinko Marinovic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Sarajevo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 42' Amer Dupovac is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
- 43' A meaty challenge results in booking for Amer Dupovac on 43.
- 48' It looks surprising FK Sarajevo does not make any changes. Tino-Sven Susic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 53' 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.
- 58' 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.
- 63' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 68' Haris Handzic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mersudin Ahmetovic on 68 minute.
- 70' Odsonne Edouard puts Celtic FC on the lead.
- 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Celtic FC that had 410 games and scored 790 goals.
- 79' Time for substitution for Celtic FC. Odsonne Edouard is replaced by Patryk Klimala.
- 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
- 85' The supporters are chanting for Ivan Jukic. He replaces Andrej Dokanovic on 85 minute.
- 86' The whistle greets Ryan Christie as he departs to be replaced by Jules Ntcham.
- 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jeremie Frimpong.
- 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Patryk Klimala.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
