- 28' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. James Justin made 389 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
