- 88' 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 Liam Gibson suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Kieran Sadlier. He replaces Kyle Dempsey on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
