  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' It looks surprising Galatasaray SK does not make any changes. Lucas Torreira has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 24' What a strike from Erik Botheim! The score is 1-0.

  • 43' What a strike from Elias Jelert Kristensen! The score is 1-1.
  • 48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
