- 0' We are underway at Stadio Olimpico, Rome. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.

- 40' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
