- 39' 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 Marvin Peersman suffering a number of foals already.

- 88' Wouter Goes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 88.
