  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between PAOK Thessaloniki FC and FK Borac Banja Luka is underway.
  • 5' The travelling FK Borac Banja Luka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Theocharis Tsingaras made 420 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 21' Stefan Schwab was booked on 21.
  • 22' What a strike from Sebastian Herera! The score is 1-1.
  • 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jovo Lukic, as he is very good at scoring at Toumba Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' It looks surprising FK Borac Banja Luka does not make any changes. Mbwana Samatta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' 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 Jurich Carolina suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' Konstantinos Koulierakis puts PAOK Thessaloniki FC on the lead.
  • 44' It looks like no one’s ball. FK Borac Banja Luka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 60' Time for substitution for PAOK Thessaloniki FC. Thomas Murg is replaced by Ioannis Konstantelias.
  • 65' 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.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Mohamed Mady Camara. He replaces Magomed Ozdoev on 69 minute.
  • 72' FK Borac Banja Luka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Damir Hrelja is hanging Zoran Kvrzic on the field on 72 minute.
  • 77' 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.

  • 85' Theocharis Tsingaras is replacing Stefan Schwab for the PAOK Thessaloniki FC side.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Esmir Hasukic.
