- 5' A quiet spell here at PayPal Park. San Jose Earthquakes seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' 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 Ruan suffering a number of foals already.
