- 21' RB Leipzig 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.
- 26' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg that had 400 games and scored 545 goals.
- 31' 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 Dayot Upamecano suffering a number of foals already.

- 63' What composure from Marcel Sabitzer! The Austria international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 66' Artem Dzyuba was booked on 66.
- 70' FK Zenit Sankt-Petersburg make a change. Branislav Ivanovic trudges off to be replaced by Sebastian Driussi on 70 minutes.
- 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 76' RB Leipzig ring the changes. Emil Forsberg has done his job and it is now time for Amadou Haidara to step up.
- 81' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 85' The whistle greets Aleksandr Erokhin as he departs to be replaced by Daler Kuzyaev.
