- 15' William Pacho needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' Paris Saint-Germain FC is showing some good football. However, Paris Saint-Germain FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 38' The Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes a substitution. Nuno Mendes departs to be replaced by Lucas Hernandez.
- 43' 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 Jeremie Frimpong suffering a number of foals already.
