Yeah.. plenty of chances but NO GOALS... here is the play by play of the first half.
The referee blows for half-time.
45'+2' Vachoušek takes the free-kick and bends the ball around the wall but Butina is alert and dives to his left to save.
45'+2' Gvozdenovic (Club Brugge) is shown a yellow card.
The midfield player is booked for a late challenge.
45' The last mintutes of the half belong to the visitors and Victor sends in another two crosses, which both fail to find a team-mate.
43' The tempo has dropped a little in the past few minutes and it looks as if the players are waiting for the half-time whistle, but Victor is still alert and bamboozles the Austria defenders with some nifty footwork before testing Didulica with a low shot - but the Croatian goalkeeper is equal to the challenge.
41' Wonderful play by the home team as two back-heels set up Vachoušek on the right, but his shot goes just wide of the far post.
40' Sionko, who has switched to the left now, dances past two men on his way to the Brugge goal but his shot is blocked.
38' Good spell for the home team and Birger Maertens has to be alert to cut out a beautiful Vachoušek cross with Gilewicz lurking in the background. Arguably Austria's best chance so far.
36' Austria win a corner, which Vachoušek takes, but Van der Heyden wins the defensive header and Butina does not have to do anything as Papac sends the follow-up well wide.
34' Gvozdenovic, Englebert and Timmy Simons are doing an incredible job in midfield for the visitors and are dominating the area at the moment.
33' Victor wins the header against Dospel on the edge of the area and shoots on the volley but he just loses his balance and in the end it is an easy save for Didulica.
32' Markus Kiesenebner gets two chances to shoot from just outside the area and his second effort goes just wide.
30' Sionko is given some rare space and time down the Brugge left and sends in a swerving cross but David Rozehnal can clear with a commanding header.
29' Peter Van der Heyden shows some dazzling footwork and bears down on the Austria penalty area but Jocelyn Blanchard produces a perfect tackle to rob the full-back of the ball.
28' It is a good atmosphere here at the Ernst Happel stadion with both sets of fans cheering their teams on.
27' A long, hopeful cross aimed for Balaban goes behind for an Austria goal kick as the Croatian runs into Afolabi.
26' 25 minutes gone and it is the visitors who have dominated so far, creating several chances and pressing the Austria players in their own half.
25' Ivan Gvozdenovic is down injured after a challenge from Libor Sionko, but gets to his feet and can carry on.
23' And yet another chance for the visitors. Englebert finds Lange inside the area with a clever pass, but the striker's effort is blocked by Didulica.
22' Austria are struggling to contain Brugge's attacking trio and Balaban this time finds Lange with a perfectly weighted through ball but the Norwegian's
shot is wide.
21' Rabiu Afolabi jumps the highest and wins the header to nod back to his goalkeeper.
19' Ernst Dospel does well to clear a dangerous cross from Englebert but his defensive work results in yet another Brugge corner.
18' The corner is cleared but sent back into the Austria penalty area again where Rune Lange stretches to reach the ball but his effort lacks the power
and height to beat Didulica.
17' Brugge win a corner, which Balaban will take.
13' And the chances keep coming. Štepán Vachoušek threads a pass between the Brugge centre-backs and Radoslaw Gilewicz breaks into the penalty area, but his cleanly hit shot goes just wide without troubling Tomislav Butina.
12' Balaban has looked lively so far and now runs on to a clever Gaëtan Englebert pass but sends his shot well wide.
11' At the other end, Victor sets up Balaban with a neat pass but the Croatian's effort is blocked behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
10' Ivica Vastic creates the best chance of the game so far by picking up a loose ball in the Club Brugge penalty area but he leans back and his shot is high.
8' Some confusion in the Austria penalty area after Victor wins the header to flick on a long free-kick and Balaban prods the ball goalwards but Joseph Didulica can collect.
6' Neither team have managed to control the ball for long enough to create something worthwhile so far and the high tempo has led to a string of unforced errors.
5' Papac (Austria) is cautioned by the referee.
The full-back is booked for the offence.
3' Boško Balaban picks up the ball in his own half and nutmegs Saša Papac, who brings the Croatian striker down. It is a free-kick to Club Brugge.
2' The set piece reaches Olivier De Cock but the full-back's speculative effort goes over the bar.
2' The visitors storm forward and win a corner as Mikael Antonsson has to clear.
