38' Jorgen Skjelvik catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 38.
43' The energy levels are beginning to show. Guillermo Schelotto might look to freshen things up shortly.
48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

79' Daniel Steres is having his name booked by the referee on 79.
