- 3' Goal! Arkadiusz Milik scores his 74 goal in 508 matches.
- 8' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 13' 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 Junya Ito suffering a number of foals already.
- 18' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 63' The whistle greets Mbwana Samatta as he departs to be replaced by Theo Bongonda.
- 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sander Berge made 316 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
