  • 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 Luka Modric suffering a number of foals already.

  • 72' - The supporters are chanting for Kelechi Iheanacho. He replaces Odion Ighalo on 72 minute.
