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

- 58' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 63' 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.
