- 24' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 29' AFC Ajax is showing some good football. However, AFC Ajax are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
