- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 30' The travelling Estudiantes de La Plata supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
