0' What a night it is going to be! CD Santa Clara welcome Sporting Clube de Braga for this crunch clash at Estadio de Sao Miguel.
5' Sidney Lima is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sporting Clube de Braga so far.
10' 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 Serginho suffering a number of foals already.
15' CD Santa Clara are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' Sporting Clube de Braga has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
22' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lucas Soares on 22.
27' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
32' Sporting Clube de Braga is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Braga are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
33' It’s gonna be a card for Paulo Oliveira.
38' Sporting Clube de Braga have won 575 goals from 428 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
43' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Paulo Oliveira is replaced by Robson Bambu.
46' Joao Moutinho gets the nod from Sporting Clube de Braga. He replaces Vitor Carvalho and will look to change the dynamic.
51' Bruma has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 51 minutes.
56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luis Rocha made 57 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
63' A tactical swap from Sporting Clube de Braga — Gabriel Martinez on, Roger Fernandes off on 63 minutes.
65' Sikou Niakate was booked on 65.
66' Another substitution for CD Santa Clara to replace Klismahn by Frederico Venancio on 66 minute.
67' Time for substitution for CD Santa Clara. Serginho is replaced by Pedro Ferreira.
72' Both keepers have barely been tested. CD Santa Clara and Sporting Clube de Braga are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
77' A goal from the Guinea-Bissau international Bruma! He fires home on 77 to make it 0-2!
79' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Rodrigo Zalazar is replaced by Andre Horta.
82' It is a substitution in CD Santa Clara team. Vinicius is replaced by Alisson Safira on 82 minute.
83' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Yuri Ribeiro.
84' That looks like a foul for a card for Joao Moutinho.
87' Robson Bambu picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
90' That looks like a foul for a card for Matheus Pereira.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sporting Clube de Braga players.
