- 37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shelbourne FC that had 4 games and scored 3 goals.
- 42' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Linfield FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 77' Time for substitution for Linfield FC. Ethan McGee is replaced by Dane McCullough.
- 82' 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 Ethan McGee suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' The supporters are chanting for Charlie Allen. He replaces Kirk Millar on 83 minute.
- 88' The travelling Shelbourne FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
