- 10' 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 Kyogo Furuhashi suffering a number of foals already.

- 18' Goal! Christopher Nkunku scores his 90 goal in 520 matches.
