- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Panathinaikos AO and Villarreal CF is underway.
- 5' 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 Bernard suffering a number of foals already.
