Ran 10K this morning, match tonight

I've just run the UL 10Km in 52:41. Pretty pleased with my time as its the first time I've run 10Km. Thing is I have a soccer match tonight. Don't want to be cramping up early on so is there anything I should be eating or drinking to avoid a build up of lactic acid?

congrats on your first 10 km.

Two articles that might be of interest are

If I were you, I would eat medium GL carbohydrate foods from now until about an hour before football. hydrate in the same timeframe and keep moving gently (i.e. walk around a bit)

edit: used wrong link at first!
