Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Estadio da Madeira will turn into a battlefield for CD Nacional and FC Alverca.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' CD Nacional is showing some good football. However, CD Nacional are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Alverca winning 50% of all matches.
  • 20' The travelling FC Alverca supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. CD Nacional is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Zakaria Kassary made 34 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 38' A meaty challenge results in booking for Rhaldney on 38.
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Alverca that had 34 games and scored 8 goals.
  • 46' Time for substitution for FC Alverca. Rhaldney is replaced by Davy Gui.
  • 51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' Matheus Mendes has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 61' FC Alverca seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 63' Filipe Soares has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daniel Jr. on 63 minute.
  • 67' GOAL! Chuchu scores on 67. Assisted by Jose Gomes
  • 72' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chiquinho suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Vasco Moreira has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lincoln on 75 minute.
  • 78' CD Nacional player sees a card in front of him.
  • 83' FC Alverca is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 90' It is a substitution in CD Nacional team. Liziero is replaced by Joao Aurelio on 90 minute.
