      Notes

      • Player InjuryIn the 29th minute [28:00] Hamilton is caught on the back of his right heel, from behind by Tueart. He is carried from the field and given treatment on the side lines. He comes back on briefly after five minutes [32:54] but can't conitnue and looks a forlorn figure limping across the field. He is eventually replaced [36:13].
