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

- 12' Brilliant from the ! Charles-Andreas Brym makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 12.
- 17' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
