  • 5' SK Sturm Graz are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SS Lazio backline.
  • 10' SK Sturm Graz 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.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SK Sturm Graz needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' SS Lazio have won 582 goals from 516 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Mattia Zaccagni. He replaces Felipe Anderson on 46 minute.
