- 11' Nadiem Amiri doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 16' GOAL! Lucas Alario fires home to make it 2-0!
- 21' 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 Rony Lopes suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 71' Myziane Maolida has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kasper Dolberg on 71 minute.
- 74' Karim Bellarabi gets the nod from Bayer 04 Leverkusen. He replaces Lucas Alario and will look to change the dynamic.
