- 11' The referee calls foul for Antonio Nusa. He receives a card.
- 16' 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 Antonio Nusa suffering a number of foals already.

- 57' GOAL! Miguel Gutierrez fires home to make it 2-1!
