- 4' That looks like a foul for a card for Angelo Fulgini.
- 9' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 14' 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 Habib Diarra suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' Andrew Omobamidele makes way for Abakar Sylla at the 16 minute mark. A tactical switch from RC Strasbourg Alsace.
- 21' Felix Lemarechal is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Racing Club de Lens tonight.
