- 8' Sven Mijnans with the second goal in the match!
- 13' 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 Troy Parrott suffering a number of foals already.
