- 5' Anthony Ujah has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 447 appearances.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 23' Steven Skrzybski is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Schalke 04 tonight.
