0' Welcome to Alte Foersterei that hosts another battle between 1. FC Union Berlin and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
5' Yorbe Vertessen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
