• In the 29th minute, Dennis Man was replaced by Nicolas Verkooijen. The Romanian came out on his feet, clapped his hands with his colleagues. The footballer felt a small medical problem and did not prefer to risk anything, taking into account the score.

• It was the 13th minute when Man took advantage of a big mistake by the home captain, Kevin Felida. He tried to send “home”, to his own goalkeeper, without looking and seeing that Man was lying in wait near the opposing box. The Romanian reached the ball first and finished with an elegant lob, from the drop, executed from the line of the 16-meter square.
