- 10' Mimoun Mahi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 20' Kaj Sierhuis doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
