- 47' Lutsharel Geertruida, a Netherlands defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 83' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
