Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Stadion Z'dezele that hosts another battle between NK Celje and SK Slovan Bratislava.
  • 4' Poor challenge from Dominik Takac. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 7' Luka Bobicanec makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and NK Celje are in front.
  • 11' What an equalizer from David Strelec!
  • 16' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 21' Robert Mak has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 26' Both keepers have barely been tested. NK Celje and SK Slovan Bratislava are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 30' It’s gonna be a card for Kyriakos Savvidis.
  • 31' It’s gonna be a card for Vladimir Weiss.
  • 36' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Armandas Kucys made 14 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' The NK Celje manager makes a substitution. Tamar Svetlin departs to be replaced by Mario Kvesic.
  • 45' That is a card for SK Slovan Bratislava. Robert Mak will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. NK Celje is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' NK Celje is showing some good football. However, NK Celje are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 56' Armandas Kucys was booked on 56.
  • 61' With 0 assists to his name this season, Aljosa Matko is clearly more than just a goal scorer for NK Celje.
  • 66' The travelling SK Slovan Bratislava supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' Fresh legs for NK Celje! Rolando Aarons comes on to replace Aljosa Matko.
  • 71' Lukas Pauschek is ready to make an impact after coming on for David Strelec at the 71 minute mark.
  • 74' Controversy at the stadium! Zan Karnicnik argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 79' 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 Kyriakos Savvidis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' SK Slovan Bratislava ring the changes. Robert Mak has done his job and it is now time for Tigran Barseghyan to step up.
  • 85' Another substitution for NK Celje to replace Jost Pisek by Ivan Brnic on 85 minute.
  • 88' The supporters are chanting for Nino Marcelli. He replaces Vladimir Weiss on 88 minute.
  • 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
