  • 13' Maccabi Tel Aviv FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ofek Melika is hanging Yoav Gerafi on the field on 13 minute.
  • 18' Paphos FC 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.
  • 23' It’s high time Juan Carlos Carcedo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' It’s a booking for Maccabi Tel Aviv FC player. Ofek Melika gets a card.
  • 34' The supporters are chanting for Roei Mashpati. He replaces Dor Turgeman on 34 minute.
  • 36' The referee calls foul for Derrick Luckassen. He receives a card.
  • 40' What a strike from Jaja! The score is 0-1.
  • 45' Paphos FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 50' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 56' Mohamed Aly Camara is having his name booked by the referee on 56.

  • 80' Joao Correia has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 85' 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 Vlad Dragomir suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Domingos Quina on 90.
  • The final score is 0-1.
