- 41' The energy levels are beginning to show. Thomas Frank might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 46' 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 Kabasele suffering a number of foals already.
