- 27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Djibril Diani on 27.
- 32' 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 Griffin Dorsey suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' The travelling Charlotte FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
