- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Juventus FC and Valencia CF get this one started.

- 13' Rodrigo Bentancur is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
- 18' Juventus FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 18.
- 23' 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 Cristiano Ronaldo suffering a number of foals already.
- 28' Blaise Matuidi, a France , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 31' That is a Yellow card for Valencia CF. Jose Gaya will be fuming at that decision.

- 60' It’s a booking for Juventus FC player. Juan Cuadrado gets a Yellow card.
- 62' Mouctar Diakhaby has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 62.
- 67' Michy Batshuayi gets the nod from Valencia CF. He replaces Santi Mina and will look to change the dynamic.
- 69' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Goncalo Guedes.
