Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising GNK Dinamo Zagreb does not make any changes. Ljubomir Fejsa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' It’s high time Nenad Bjelica made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 14' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Nikola Moro.
  • 19' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 24' Petar Stojanovic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 29' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mario Situm, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 34' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' 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.
  • 44' GNK Dinamo Zagreb is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' Bruno Petkovic was booked on 45.
  • 46' Alejandro Grimaldo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuri Ribeiro on 46 minute.
  • 51' GNK Dinamo Zagreb started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 61' Ferro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 74' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Joao Felix.
  • 75' The supporters are chanting for Mario Situm. He replaces Damian Kadzior on 75 minute.
  • 80' 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 Damian Kadzior suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
  • 86' Mario Gavranovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bruno Petkovic on 86 minute.
