Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. NK Maribor kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' FK Partizani is showing some good football. However, FK Partizani are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' NK Maribor is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Partizani is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Martin Milec has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' The travelling FK Partizani supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 31' NK Maribor is taking the lead after the goal scored by Amir Dervisevic on 31.
  • 36' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Lorenc Trashi, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 61' 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.
  • 66' 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 Labinot Ibrahimi suffering a number of foals already.
