  • 22' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 27' 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 Enzo Millot suffering a number of foals already.
