Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! CD Nacional welcome Rio Ave FC for this crunch clash at Estadio da Madeira.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His CD Nacional side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 15' Nadjack has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 335 appearances.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daniel Ramos will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Daniel Ramos might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Rio Ave FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 36' Goal! Ronan Jeronimo scores his 10 goal in 335 matches.
  • 41' It looks like no one’s ball. Rio Ave FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Over 46 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 48' CD Nacional player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 53' Leandrinho, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 58' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Murilo has done his job and it is now time for Carlos to step up.
  • 64' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Carlos on 64 minutes.
  • 64' Another change for CD Nacional made on 64 minute. Witi leaves to be changed by Brayan Riascos.
  • 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rio Ave FC that had 335 games and scored 277 goals.
  • 70' Vitor Goncalves is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
  • 78' The whistle greets Ronan Jeronimo as he departs to be replaced by Bruno Moreira.
  • 79' The supporters are chanting for Matheus Reis. He replaces Fabio Coentrao on 79 minute.
  • 83' A change in the CD Nacional ranks — Jota exits the field as Aleksandar Palocevic enters on 83.
  • 88' It looks surprising Rio Ave FC does not make any changes. Fabio Coentrao has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Eliseu Cassama has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
