- 0' The game is set. KF Valur kicks off things out of here…
- 5' NK Maribor is showing some good football. However, NK Maribor are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' 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 Ivar Orn Jonsson suffering a number of foals already.
- 11' GOAL! Rok Kronaveter scores on 11.
- 16' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 19' Another substitution for KF Valur to replace Haukur Sigurdsson by Lasse Petry on 19 minute.
- 24' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KF Valur that had 107 games and scored 27 goals.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Andrej Kotnik made 105 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' Goal! Marcos Tavares scores his 5 goal in 105 matches.
- 37' KF Valur started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
- 41' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Andri Adolphsson.
- 46' Supporters expect more eagerness from Birnir Ingason, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. NK Maribor needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. NK Maribor is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 57' The whistle greets Andrej Kotnik as he departs to be replaced by Jasmin Mesanovic.
- 58' It is a substitution in NK Maribor team. Rok Kronaveter is replaced by Rudi Pozeg Vancas on 58 minute.
