Could someone more knowledgeable than me kindly explain why there appear to be 2 references to Flap retraction as below, or am I misreading the report?

At 05:39:22 and about 1,000 feet the left autopilot (AP) was engaged (it disengaged about 33seconds later), the flaps were retracted and the pitch trim position decreased to 4.6 units.
and
At 05:39:45, Captain requested flaps up and First-Officeracknowledged. One second later, flap handlemoved from 5to 0 degrees and flaps retraction began.
Many thanks
