  • 0' Welcome to RAMS Park that hosts another battle between Galatasaray SK and IF Elfsborg.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. IF Elfsborg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' Galatasaray SK is showing some good football. However, Galatasaray SK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It’s high time Oscar Hiljemark made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' GOAL! Mauro Icardi scores on 28.
  • 33' The travelling IF Elfsborg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' Terry Yegbe is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
  • 39' What a strike from Isak Pettersson! The score is 1-1.
  • 44' Sensational shot from Baris Yilmaz. Galatasaray SK is back in the lead.
  • 49' It looks surprising Galatasaray SK does not make any changes. Gabriel Sara has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 52' What a strike from Niklas Hult! The score is 2-2.
  • 57' 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 Sebastian Holmen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 62' IF Elfsborg 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.
  • 65' Michael Baidoo puts IF Elfsborg on the lead.
  • 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rami Kaib made 369 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
