  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It looks surprising KR Reykjavik does not make any changes. Mattias Mostrom has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' Erling Knudtzon has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 51' Molde FK 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.
