  • 10' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' - 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 Ivan Rakitic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' - Ivan Rakitic is having his name booked by the referee on 30.

  • 62' - The whistle greets Alex Iwobi as he departs to be replaced by Ahmed Musa.
