- 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 44' Both keepers have barely been tested. CD Nacional and Vitória SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Tiago Silva.
- 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
