- 5' Joshua Kitolano needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 10' FC Twente \'65 have won 388 goals from 242 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 15' 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 Sem Steijn suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Arno Verschueren has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 30' Julio Pleguezuelo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 414 appearances.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Denilho Cleonise, as he is very good at scoring at Sparta Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
