- 0' The game is set. Molde FK kicks off things out of here…
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Benjamin Tiedemann is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Helsingin JK.
- 10' Ola Brynhildsen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 20' Jesse Ost has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' Topi Keskinen has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 25 minutes.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' The 28-year-old Lucas Lingman has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 45' 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 Magnus Eikrem suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Ola Brynhildsen picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 55' Georgios Kanellopoulos is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Molde FK tonight.
- 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Helsingin JK and Molde FK are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 65' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 67' It’s a booking for Molde FK player. Kristoffer Haugen gets a card.
- 67' Molde FK make a change. Ola Brynhildsen trudges off to be replaced by Veton Berisha on 67 minutes.
- 70' A tactical swap from Helsingin JK — Perparim Hetemaj on, Georgios Kanellopoulos off on 70 minutes.
- 75' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 78' Helsingin JK manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Aapo Halme is hanging Topi Keskinen on the field on 78 minute.
- 83' Helsingin JK is showing some good football. However, Helsingin JK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- It finishes all square. Helsingin JK and Molde FK share the spoils 1-0.
