- 30' 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 Jimmy Keohane suffering a number of foals already.

- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 42' What an equalizer from Matthew Lund!
