- 36' It’s high time John Herdman made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 41' Toronto FC is showing some good football. However, Toronto FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Deybi Flores.
- 50' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
