- 26' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 27' Diego Palacios is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
- 32' 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 Youssef Jebli suffering a number of foals already.
- 33' Willem II Tilburg player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
