- 0' We are underway at ABAX Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Walsall FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
