Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. CD Santa Clara is hosting CD Nacional for another epic battle.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' CD Nacional is showing some good football. However, CD Nacional are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' CD Santa Clara looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Elias Manoel scoring 1 goals.
  • 20' 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.
  • 24' Another change for CD Santa Clara made on 24 minute. Goncalo Paciencia leaves to be changed by Elias Manoel.
  • 27' What a strike from Pedro Pacheco! The score is 1-0.
  • 29' Paulinho Boia was booked on 29.
  • 34' It’s high time Tiago Margarido made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 39' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 44' CD Santa Clara started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Gabriel Veron. He replaces Witi on 46 minute.
  • 51' Jose Gomes needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' It looks surprising CD Santa Clara does not make any changes. Paulinho Boia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Joao Aurelio on 60.
  • 62' Time for substitution for CD Nacional. Joao Aurelio is replaced by Alan Nunez.
  • 64' Another change for CD Santa Clara made on 64 minute. Klismahn leaves to be changed by Darlan Mendes.
  • 69' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gabriel Veron, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio de Sao Miguel with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 74' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gabriel Silva made 386 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 79' 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 Leo Santos suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Darlan Mendes is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
  • 82' The CD Santa Clara manager makes a substitution. Welinton departs to be replaced by Vinicius.
