- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Portugal and USA 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 Carole Costa suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with USA winning 0% of all matches.
