- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Macarthur FC and Auckland FC get this one started.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Auckland FC that had 55 games and scored 58 goals.
- 10' 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 Daniel Hall suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
