- 0' In just a few seconds Maksimir will turn into a battlefield for GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic FC.
- 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. GNK Dinamo Zagreb needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 6' Greg Taylor was booked on 6.
- 11' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 16' Celtic FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 16.
- 21' 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.
- 26' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 31' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' GNK Dinamo Zagreb player sees a card in front of him.
- 38' That looks like a foul for a card for Daizen Maeda.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering GNK Dinamo Zagreb that had 188 games and scored 141 goals.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Anthony Ralston. He replaces Alistair Johnston on 46 minute.
- 51' Marko Pjaca needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.

- 72' Celtic FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adam Idah is hanging Kyogo Furuhashi on the field on 72 minute.
- 73' The whistle greets Dario Spikic as he departs to be replaced by Nathanael Mbuku.
- 78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Auston Trusty made 286 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' Luka Stojkovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Martin Baturina on 82 minute.
- 87' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 87 minutes.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
