Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at NSK Olimpijs'kyj!
  • 5' Dan Glazer has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 10' The travelling Maccabi Tel Aviv FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Fernando has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Maccabi Tel Aviv FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' 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.
  • 33' The referee calls foul for Vitao. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Maccabi Tel Aviv FC that had 43 games and scored 33 goals.
  • 46' Another change for FK Shakhtar Donetsk made on 46 minute. Manor Solomon leaves to be changed by Tete.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Patrick van Leeuwen will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' Saborit is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FK Shakhtar Donetsk tonight.
  • 61' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Shakhtar Donetsk is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 66' FK Shakhtar Donetsk have won 100 goals from 203 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 67' What a moment for Junior Moraes! That strike on 67 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 68' Eduardo Guerrero is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tal Ben Haim at the 68 minute mark.
  • 73' Anatolii Trubin has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 77' Another change for Maccabi Tel Aviv FC made on 77 minute. Matan Hozez leaves to be changed by Dan Biton.
  • 78' The whistle greets Vitao as he departs to be replaced by Viktor Korniienko.
  • 83' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Avi Rikan made 43 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
