Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — SK Sturm Graz and FK Dynamo Kyiv get this one started.
- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both SK Sturm Graz and FK Dynamo Kyiv are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Vitalii Buyalskyi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SK Sturm Graz.
- 11' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jon Gorenc-Stankovic on 11.
- 16' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Christian Ilzer will be considering his options from the bench.
- 21' FK Dynamo Kyiv started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 21.
- 26' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 27' Magnificent from Rasmus Hojlund! That is 43 goals in 105 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 32' SK Sturm Graz have won 41 goals from 147 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SK Sturm Graz that had 147 games and scored 41 goals.
- 42' SK Sturm Graz is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 47' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 52' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vesel Demaku made 4 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 57' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mircea Lucescu might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 62' 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.
- 67' 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 Vladyslav Dubinchak suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' Oleksandr Karavaiev has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tomasz Kedziora on 71 minute.
- 75' SK Sturm Graz ring the changes. Rasmus Hojlund has done his job and it is now time for Ivan Ljubic to step up.
- 80' FK Dynamo Kyiv fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 82' Denys Harmash gets the nod from FK Dynamo Kyiv. He replaces Volodymyr Shepeliev and will look to change the dynamic.
- 84' Time for substitution for SK Sturm Graz. Tomi Horvat is replaced by Christoph Lang.
- 89' Volodymyr Shepeliev has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' Manprit Sarkaria catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for SK Sturm Graz.
