Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FK Struga gets underway.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FK Struga needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Struga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' FK Zalgiris Vilnius is showing some good football. However, FK Zalgiris Vilnius are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' FK Struga started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 33' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nicolas Gorobsov on 33.
  • 37' The referee calls foul for Besart Ibraimi. He receives a card.

  • 46' The whistle greets Donatas Kazlauskas as he departs to be replaced by Arni Vilhjalmsson.
  • 51' It looks surprising FK Struga does not make any changes. Mario Pavelic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' Ovidijus Verbickas needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
