- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and PFK CSKA Sofia launch into their encounter with B36.
- 5' Amos Youga is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for B36 tonight.
- 10' PFK CSKA Sofia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 15' The referee calls foul for Geferson. He receives a Yellow card.
- 20' PFK CSKA Sofia seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 25' Bradley Mazikou has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 26' Eli Nielsen picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 27' Goal! Ali Sowe scores his 13 goal in 22 matches.
- 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
- 37' Both keepers have barely been tested. PFK CSKA Sofia and B36 are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 38' Georgi Yomov doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 43' 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 Magnus Jacobsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' It’s a booking for B36 player. Magnus Jacobsen gets a Yellow card.
- 52' PFK CSKA Sofia are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined B36 backline.
- 57' B36 come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 58' The referee calls foul for Benjamin Heinesen. He receives a Yellow card.
- 59' Fresh legs for B36! Hannes Agnarsson comes on to replace Ragnar Samuelsen.
- 61' Magnificent from Sebastian Pingel! That is 4 goals in 130 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 61' Time for substitution for PFK CSKA Sofia. Geferson is replaced by Tiago Rodrigues.
- 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering PFK CSKA Sofia that had 22 games and scored 30 goals.
- 68' It is a substitution in B36 team. Magnus Jacobsen is replaced by Andrass Johansen on 68 minute.
- 73' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 78' It looks like no one’s ball. B36 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 83' A goal from the Guinea international Jules Keita! He fires home on 83 to make it 3-1!
- 83' The crowd applauds Graham Carey as he leaves the pitch. Henrique steps in for PFK CSKA Sofia.
- 88' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for B36.
