- 21' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 26' 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 Ojo suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Chislett made 14 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
