- 20' The 32-year-old Guido Rodriguez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' Hugo Rincon, a Spain defender, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 35' Girona FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 38' Renzo Saravia catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 38.
