First-half highlights:
3’: Bittencourt dribbles with pace into the final third and plays it across to Schmid in the centre. He pulls the trigger, but his shot goes well over.
9’: Ducksch is fouled and wins a free-kick. He dinks it into the box and that causes some uncertainty for goalkeeper Destanoglu. This gives Veljkovic the chance to head the ball towards goal. His header doesn’t have enough power on it and is cleared. The following Ducksch corner is headed straight at the keeper by Veljkovic.
18’: Jung cannot continue. The defender felt a pain in his thigh and has to go off. Lee Buchanan will come on for his debut in green and white!
21’: Besiktas manage to get forward, with Souza taking a central shot. Two SVW defenders get in the way to prevent any danger.
37’: Montero lets fly from around 25 yards out. Pavlenka sees it late and it goes just wide.
38’: A free-kick from 20 yards out is whipped into the box. De Souza’s shot from close range requires a great save from Pavlenka.
42’: A Gruev corner lands at Bittencourt’s feet on the edge via a deflection. He unleashes a strike which is parried and then falls for Chiarodia. His shot, however, hits his own man Pieper and goes wide.
