Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. CD Nacional kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' CD Nacional is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Petit will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' 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 Gabriel Veron suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' CD Nacional are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 24' Another change for CD Santa Clara made on 24 minute. Goncalo Paciencia leaves to be changed by Elias Manoel.
  • 27' Pedro Pacheco has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 27 minutes.
  • 29' The referee has no hesitation. Paulinho Boia is booked for CD Nacional — card on 29.
  • 34' 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.
  • 39' Daniel Jr. is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CD Nacional so far.
  • 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sidney Lima, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de Sao Miguel with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 46' The CD Nacional bench stirs into life. Witi is withdrawn and Gabriel Veron gets his opportunity.
  • 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
  • 56' CD Santa Clara have won 268 goals from 320 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joao Aurelio on 60.
  • 62' A tactical swap from CD Nacional — Alan Nunez on, Joao Aurelio off on 62 minutes.
  • 64' The CD Santa Clara manager makes a substitution. Klismahn departs to be replaced by Darlan Mendes.
  • 69' CD Santa Clara are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CD Nacional backline.
  • 74' Gabriel Silva, a Brazil midfielder, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 79' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CD Santa Clara needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 80' CD Santa Clara receives a card for a hard tackle on 80.
  • 82' Another change for CD Santa Clara made on 82 minute. Welinton leaves to be changed by Vinicius.
  • 87' named a 4-3-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from CD Santa Clara to claim maximum points.
