- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Cincinnati needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' 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 Matt Miazga suffering a number of foals already.

- 70' Kevin Denkey needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 1 Red cards this season.
- 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eduard Atuesta made 284 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
