- 7' What a strike from Mads Juel Andersen! The score is 1-0.
- 12' 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 Marcus Tavernier suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' What a strike from Amine Bassi! The score is 2-0.
- 21' Middlesbrough FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
