- 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for KR Reykjavik and Malmo FF.
- 5' The travelling Malmo FF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sergio Pena made 172 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 15' KR Reykjavik is taking the lead after the goal scored by Karl Fridleifur Gunnarsson on 15.
- 18' The referee calls foul for Isaac Thelin. He receives a Yellow card.
- 23' KR Reykjavik 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.
- 28' Malmo FF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 28.
- 33' It looks surprising KR Reykjavik does not make any changes. Jo Inge Berget has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 34' What an equalizer from Veljko Birmancevic!
- 39' 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 Hugo Larsson suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' David Atlason is replacing Halldor Smari Sigurdsson for the KR Reykjavik side.
- 44' What a strike from Felix Beijmo! The score is 1-2.

- 56' What a strike from Nikolaj Hansen! The score is 2-3.
- 60' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Martin Olsson.
- 62' Erdal Rakip has so much to prove this time. He replaces Anders Christiansen on 62 minute.
- 64' It is a substitution in KR Reykjavik team. Helgi Gudjonsson is replaced by Birnir Ingason on 64 minute.
- 69' Malmo FF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KR Reykjavik that had 7 games and scored 8 goals.
- 75' Goal! Karl Fridleifur Gunnarsson scores his 2 goal in 7 matches.
- 80' 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.
