- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

- 25' GOAL! Djasur Yakhshibaev scores on 25. Assisted by Cristiano
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Sheriff Tiraspol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Real Madrid CF is showing some good football. However, Real Madrid CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
