- 0' In just a few seconds Vale Park will turn into a battlefield for Port Vale FC and Derby County FC.
- 2' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Dennis Politic.
- 7' Port Vale FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 42' Nathan Smith has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 153 appearances.
- 47' 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 Funso-King Ojo suffering a number of foals already.
