- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 50' 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 Martin Minchev suffering a number of foals already.
