Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Arouca and CD Santa Clara get this one started.
  • 5' 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 Adriano Firmino suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' FC Arouca are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against CD Santa Clara's 3-4-3 shape.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Arouca that had 182 games and scored 193 goals.
  • 25' FC Arouca seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jose Fontan, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Arouca with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
  • 35' FC Arouca currently sit 18 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 40' CD Santa Clara come into this ranked 4 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 42' The whistle greets Henrique Araujo as he departs to be replaced by Guven Yalcin.
  • 47' Over 47 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 52' Luis Rocha is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for CD Santa Clara so far.
  • 57' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Arouca and CD Santa Clara are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 62' Sidney Lima has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 323 appearances.
  • 63' Jose Fontan is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
  • 65' That is a card for FC Arouca. Jason will be fuming at that decision.
  • 66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Diogo Calila.
  • 67' FC Arouca is taking the lead after the goal scored by Jason on 67.
  • 72' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 73' CD Santa Clara manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Klismahn is hanging Frederico Venancio on the field on 73 minute.
  • 74' The CD Santa Clara manager makes a substitution. Diogo Calila departs to be replaced by Lucas Soares.
  • 76' It’s gonna be a card for Pedro Ferreira.
  • 81' FC Arouca are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 86' Boris Popovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pedro Santos on 86 minute.
  • 90' The supporters are chanting for Vladislav Morozov. He replaces Alfonso Trezza on 90 minute.
