- 10' Austin FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
