- 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Paul Lasne made 417 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 42' 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 Florent Mollet suffering a number of foals already.
