- 15' AC Milan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 43' Brahim Diaz has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 48' 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 Aaron McEneff suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' Shamrock Rovers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 51.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shamrock Rovers FC that had 24 games and scored 30 goals.
