  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between GNK Dinamo Zagreb and FC Saburtalo is underway.
  • 5' 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 Dachi Tsnobiladze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Amer Gojak made 194 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 41' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Sandro Altunashvili.
  • 46' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both GNK Dinamo Zagreb and FC Saburtalo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
