  • 25' 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 Dimitri Lavalee suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Borussia Dortmund are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
