Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: CD Santa Clara gets underway.
  • 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Antony, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Arouca with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 9' Controversy at the stadium! Victor Bobsin argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 14' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 19' The 24-year-old Filip Stevanovic has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 24' CD Santa Clara are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 29' 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.
  • 30' A moment of madness from Costinha on 30 minutes earns him a Yellow card. CD Santa Clara will be frustrated.
  • 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Armando Evangelista will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 40' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ismaila Soro on 40.
  • 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Arouca and CD Santa Clara are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 46' Time for substitution for CD Santa Clara. Costinha is replaced by Adriano.
  • 49' The Argentina Alan Ruiz breaks the deadlock on 49 minutes. 1-0!
  • 52' The crowd applauds Ismaila Soro as he leaves the pitch. Oriol Busquets steps in for FC Arouca.
  • 57' The crowd applauds Victor Bobsin as he leaves the pitch. Rildo steps in for CD Santa Clara.
  • 62' Oday Dabbagh doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 64' Time for substitution for FC Arouca. Oday Dabbagh is replaced by Benji Michel.
  • 69' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Arouca that had 181 games and scored 193 goals.
  • 79' It looks surprising FC Arouca does not make any changes. Gabriel Batista has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 84' CD Santa Clara ring the changes. Allano has done his job and it is now time for Filip Stevanovic to step up.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ignacio De Arruabarrena on 86 minutes.
  • 87' Poor challenge from Kento Misao. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 88' A moment of madness from Kyosuke Tagawa on 88 minutes earns him a Yellow card. CD Santa Clara will be frustrated.
  • 88' A tactical swap from CD Santa Clara — Kyosuke Tagawa on, Italo off on 88 minutes.
  • 90' A tactical swap from FC Arouca — Arsenio on, Antony off on 90 minutes.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jerome Opoku.
  • CD Santa Clara will have plenty to reflect on. FC Arouca were simply the better side today.
