Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against NS Mura and SK Sturm Graz has kicked off!
  • 3' GOAL! Ziga Skoflek scores on 3.
  • 8' It looks like no one’s ball. NS Mura is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 13' 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 Niklas Geyrhofer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 18' GOAL! Jakob Jantscher scores on 18.
  • 23' NS Mura player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jorg Siebenhandl, as he is very good at scoring at Fazanerija Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 49' The travelling SK Sturm Graz supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomi Horvat made 13 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' Kelvin Yeboah needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 60' Goal! Otar Kiteishvili scores his 4 goal in 141 matches.
  • 62' Another substitution for NS Mura to replace Luka Bobicanec by Stanisa Mandic on 62 minute.

  • 80' SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Niklas Geyrhofer is hanging Ivan Ljubic on the field on 80 minute.
  • 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
