- 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 Ousmane Dembele suffering a number of foals already.

- 53' Brilliant from the ! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes it 0-5 with a superb finish on 53.
- 58' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Real Madrid CF that had 545 games and scored 775 goals.
