- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' It looks surprising HNK Rijeka does not make any changes. Nikola Maksimovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' 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 Veldin Hodza suffering a number of foals already.
