First it was Nouhou who had to be subbed off in the 11th minute after going down a couple of times. Then, just before the half-hour mark, João Paulo had a collision on the sideline and went down in a heap. While Nouhou was able to leave the field under his own strength, JP was stretchered straight to the locker rooms.
