Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against CD Nacional and Vitória SC has kicked off!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Francisco Dias made 394 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Vitória SC 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.
- 14' Vitoria SC player sees a card in front of him.
- 19' Vitória SC is showing some good football. However, Vitória SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
- 25' That looks like a foul for a card for Jose Gomes.
- 30' CD Nacional started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 32' A meaty challenge results in booking for Filipe Soares on 32.
- 33' It’s gonna be a card for Witi.
- 38' It looks surprising CD Nacional does not make any changes. Chuchu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 48' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vitória SC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 53' Vitória SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 54' It’s a booking for CD Nacional player. Matheus Dias gets a card.
- 59' Leo Santos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 64' 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.
- 69' Chuchu puts CD Nacional on the lead.
- 74' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Vitória SC winning 50% of all matches.
- 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vitória SC that had 394 games and scored 369 goals.
- 84' It’s high time Joao Costa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 85' Vitoria SC player sees a card in front of him.
