  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Livingston FC is showing some good football. However, Livingston FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
