- 31' A stunning finish from Lois Openda — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 36' AZ are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
