- 5' Victor Caetano needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' 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 Kevin Serna suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Chapecoense AF seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
