- 33' GOAL! Andre Ayew fires home to make it 2-2!
- 34' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ruben Aguilar on 34.
- 39' 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 Mahamadou Diawara suffering a number of foals already.

- 84' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Didier Digard will be considering his options from the bench.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-4.
