  • 0' The game is set. Malmo FF kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Anders Christiansen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Malmo FF that had 248 games and scored 152 goals.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lasse Nielsen, as he is very good at scoring at Eleda Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' Malmo FF 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.
