Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Estadio de Sao Miguel. Ninety minutes of football awaits between CD Santa Clara and Rio Ave FC.
  • 5' Vinicius, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Rio Ave FC come into this ranked 9 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Demir Tiknaz was booked on 20.
  • 25' Rio Ave FC is showing some good football. However, Rio Ave FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 36' Vinicius makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and CD Santa Clara are in front.
  • 41' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 42' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 42 minute. Tiago Fonseca Morais leaves to be changed by Valentim Sousa.
  • 47' CD Santa Clara are deployed in a 3-4-3 today, looking to exploit space against Rio Ave FC's 4-3-3 shape.
  • 52' Fabio Ronaldo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' Serginho was booked on 55.
  • 57' Patrick William was booked on 57.
  • 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rio Ave FC that had 334 games and scored 277 goals.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Fabio Ronaldo. He replaces Kiko Bondoso on 66 minute.
  • 69' CD Santa Clara manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Pedro Ferreira is hanging Klismahn on the field on 69 minute.
  • 71' That is a card for CD Santa Clara. Matheus Nunes will be fuming at that decision.
  • 76' The supporters are chanting for Lucas Soares. He replaces Diogo Calila on 76 minute.
  • 78' Rio Ave FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ahmed Hassan Koka is hanging Martim Neto on the field on 78 minute.
  • 83' CD Santa Clara looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Vinicius scoring 1 goals.
  • 86' The referee shows Rio Ave FC player a card on 86.
  • 88' Another substitution for CD Santa Clara to replace Vinicius by Daniel on 88 minute.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Clayton is booked for Rio Ave FC — card on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
