- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 15' Marwin Hitz, a Switzerland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 20' USA international Gio Reyna has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
