- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' Josko Gvardiol has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' 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.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering GNK Dinamo Zagreb that had 188 games and scored 129 goals.

- 72' The whistle greets Josko Gvardiol as he departs to be replaced by Marin Leovac.
