- 20' Anders Christiansen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Malmo FF is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' 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.

- 58' A meaty challenge results in booking for Matej Chalus on 58.
- 59' The supporters are chanting for Hernani Infande. He replaces Rodrigo Gomes on 59 minute.
- 61' It is a substitution in Malmo FF team. Ola Toivonen is replaced by Isaac Thelin on 61 minute.
