- 10' Edisson Jordanov has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 46' Luka Vuskovic, a Croatia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

- 87' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
