- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Scunthorpe United FC and Luton Town FC has kicked off!
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 10' The travelling Luton Town FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Jorge Grant has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
