- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 30' Christos Tzolis has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Erling Haaland made 83 appearances and scored 250 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 60' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 62' What a strike from Joel Ordonez! The score is 1-2.
