- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sao Paulo FC that had 387 games and scored 422 goals.
- 20' 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 Diego Souza suffering a number of foals already.
