The opening half was short on clear highlights but not on discipline issues. Sutjeska collected early cautions, with Marko Simun booked in the 25th minute and Aleksa Golubovic following him into the book just before the half-hour. The home side looked for a response after the break, sending on Kenroy Campbell at halftime and then introducing Aleksandar Boljevic and Mamadou Camara in the 56th minute.
Kairat finally found the breakthrough in the 68th minute when Bekbolat scored to turn the pressure into a lead. He was replaced moments later by Erkin Tapalov as the away side began to manage the game. Sutjeska reshuffled again in the 75th minute, but their task became far tougher when Raznatovic, already on a yellow, was dismissed in the 80th minute.
Jorginho then settled the contest from the spot in the 82nd minute, giving Kairat breathing space at 2-0. Late bookings for Deni Hocko and Jaakko Oksanen, plus a VAR no-penalty decision for the home side in the 90th minute, rounded off the closing stages. In summary, the result, score and match stats all pointed to a composed away win.
