  • 0' And we are off! Sporting Clube de Braga vs FK Zorya Luhansk — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' FK Zorya Luhansk have won 27 goals from 20 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Vitor Tormena has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dmytro Piddubnyi made 20 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' Yehor Nazaryna has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' FK Zorya Luhansk is showing some good football. However, FK Zorya Luhansk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Guilherme Schettine has been relatively quiet despite scoring 28 goals in his last 319 appearances.
  • 35' FK Zorya Luhansk 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.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' FK Zorya Luhansk fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Braga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' 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 Galeno suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 61' Joel Abu Hanna adds to his 0 season tally! FK Zorya Luhansk lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 66' It looks surprising FK Zorya Luhansk does not make any changes. Oleksandr Hladkii has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Sporting Clube de Braga team. Abel Ruiz is replaced by Ricardo Horta on 67 minute.
  • 68' What a strike from Ricardo Horta! The score is 1-1.
  • 68' Iuri Medeiros is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Horta at the 68 minute mark.
  • 73' 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.
  • 74' Another change for Sporting Clube de Braga made on 74 minute. Jose Carlos leaves to be changed by Bruno Viana.
  • 77' Serhii Hryn is replacing Artem Hromov for the FK Zorya Luhansk side.
  • 82' Vladyslav Kabaiev is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Clube de Braga tonight.
  • 87' Another substitution for FK Zorya Luhansk to replace Denys Favorov by Dmytro Khomchenovskyi on 87 minute.
  • 2-0 the final result. FK Zorya Luhansk will be bitterly disappointed.
