- 0' The game is set. VVV Venlo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Torino Hunte suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' VVV Venlo seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
