- 5' 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 Pedro Bravo suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Samu Omorodion, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Do Dragao with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 49' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oliver Sorensen made 225 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
