- 40' San Jose has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 45' Luke Thomas has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 50' 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.
