- 0' Welcome to Merkur-Arena that hosts another battle between SK Sturm Graz and FK Dynamo Kyiv.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' FK Dynamo Kyiv started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 11' The referee calls foul for Jon Gorenc-Stankovic. He receives a Yellow card.
- 16' Viktor Tsyhankov has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 21' The travelling FK Dynamo Kyiv supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 32' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FK Dynamo Kyiv that had 164 games and scored 95 goals.
- 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 Manprit Sarkaria suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 47' 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.

- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 71' Another change for FK Dynamo Kyiv made on 71 minute. Tomasz Kedziora leaves to be changed by Oleksandr Karavaiev.
- 75' Another substitution for SK Sturm Graz to replace Rasmus Hojlund by Ivan Ljubic on 75 minute.
- 80' Alexander Prass needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 82' The FK Dynamo Kyiv manager makes a substitution. Volodymyr Shepeliev departs to be replaced by Denys Harmash.
- 84' Another change for SK Sturm Graz made on 84 minute. Tomi Horvat leaves to be changed by Christoph Lang.
