  • 27' Raheem Edwards has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alonso Coello Camarero made 281 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 78' Fletcher Bank has so much to prove this time. He replaces Malik Henry on 78 minute.
