  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at TQL Stadium!
  • 3' Brilliant from the ! Moses Nyeman makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 3.
  • 8' 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 Tony Alfaro suffering a number of foals already.
  • 13' Joseph Mora needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' The referee calls foul for Junior Moreno. He receives a Yellow card.
