- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' 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 Carlos Mane suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. CD Tondela is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
