- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — St. Johnstone FC and Galatasaray SK get this one started.
- 5' Galatasaray SK is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

- 25' The travelling Galatasaray SK supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 37' What a strike from Jason Kerr! The score is 1-1.

- 53' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 58' 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 Alpaslan Ozturk suffering a number of foals already.
