- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
- 5' It looks surprising Western United FC does not make any changes. Bachana Arabuli has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Western United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 15' 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 Ulises Davila suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Western United FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Dwight Yorke will be considering his options from the bench.
