- 7' Against the run of play, Miguel de la Fuente has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 24' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yangel Herrera made 293 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
