Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Estadio da Madeira. Ninety minutes of football awaits between CD Nacional and FC Pacos de Ferreira.
- 5' FC Pacos de Ferreira 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.
- 7' Poor challenge from Pedrao. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 12' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 17' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CD Nacional side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 21' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kenji Gorre.
- 26' 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 Vincent Thill suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' Joao Amaral is having his name booked by the referee on 27.
- 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. CD Nacional and FC Pacos de Ferreira are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 42' Luther Singh has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 46' Nuno Borges makes way for Larry Azouni at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from CD Nacional.
- 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 56' Ze Uilton is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CD Nacional so far.
- 57' What a strike from Brayan Riascos! The score is 1-0.
- 60' It is a substitution in FC Pacos de Ferreira team. Joao Amaral is replaced by Helder on 60 minute.
- 65' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both CD Nacional and FC Pacos de Ferreira are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 69' The FC Pacos de Ferreira manager makes a substitution. Bruno Costa departs to be replaced by Dor Jan.
- 74' What composure from Stephen Eustaquio! The Canada international strokes it home. 1-1.
- 78' CD Nacional make a change. Kenji Gorre trudges off to be replaced by Joao Victor on 78 minutes.
- 83' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Witi made 275 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 84' FC Pacos de Ferreira manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adriano Castanheira is hanging Luther Singh on the field on 84 minute.
- 88' Gergely Bobal is replacing Ruben Micael for the CD Nacional side.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Witi.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
