- 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 81' What composure from Hyun-Gyu Oh! The South Korea international strokes it home. 1-5.
- 86' St. Mirren FC 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.
