- 24' Poor challenge from Wil Trapp. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.

- 30' Franco Fragapane has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' Sebastian Lletget needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
