- 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 Sebastian Coates suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' The 37-year-old Ljubomir Fejsa has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 24' Stefan Ristovski picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 64' Brilliant from the ! Nani makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 64.
