- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 35' Gaetan Bong catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 35.
- 40' It looks surprising Barnsley FC does not make any changes. Joe Worrall has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
