Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between PFK CSKA Sofia and NK Osijek.
  • 5' Janio Bikel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 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 Tiago Rodrigues suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dmytro Lopa made 7 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Diego Fabbrini on 17.
  • 21' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Mihael Zaper.
  • 26' 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.
  • 29' Tomislav Sorsa is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
  • 34' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 39' Ali Sowe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 44' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 49' NK Osijek is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 53' Evandro puts PFK CSKA Sofia on the lead.
  • 58' Petar Bockaj was booked on 58.
  • 63' The whistle greets Diego Fabbrini as he departs to be replaced by Valentin Antov.
  • 66' A meaty challenge results in booking for Geferson on 66.
  • 71' It’s a booking for PFK CSKA Sofia player. Valentin Antov gets a Yellow card.

  • 78' The whistle greets Petar Zanev as he departs to be replaced by Graham Carey.
  • 82' Time for substitution for PFK CSKA Sofia. Evandro is replaced by Bozhidar Chorbadzhiyski.

  • 84' The whistle greets Laszlo Kleinheisler as he departs to be replaced by Dmytro Lopa.
  • 89' 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.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Graham Carey.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Marko Dugandzic. He replaces Mihael Zaper on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. PFK CSKA Sofia beats NK Osijek
