- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 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 Christian Mawissa suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering AS Monaco FC that had 422 games and scored 533 goals.
