  • 36' The supporters are chanting for Skelly Alvero. He replaces Leonardo Bittencourt on 36 minute.
  • 41' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 66' Justin Njinmah has been relatively quiet despite scoring 9 goals in his last 521 appearances.
