  • 10' It’s a booking for FC Utrecht player. Paxten Aaronson gets a card.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 20' Against the run of play, Yoann Cathline has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 25' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
