- 10' The travelling Belgium supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Teemu Pukki made 359 appearances and scored 100 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
