  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' 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 Renato Tapia suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' The France forward Karim Benzema breaks the deadlock on 20 minutes. 0-1!
  • 22' A moment of madness from Vinicius Junior on 22 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Real Madrid CF will be frustrated.
