- 33' Villarreal CF come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 38' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 74' A goal from the Netherlands international Arnaut Danjuma! He fires home on 74 to make it 0-3!
