Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Arouca and CD Santa Clara is underway.
  • 5' Javi Sanchez is having his name booked by the referee on 5.
  • 8' FC Arouca is taking the lead after the goal scored by Hyun-Ju Lee on 8.
  • 10' Goal! Gabriel Silva scores his 14 goal in 386 matches.
  • 15' 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 Klismahn suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Brenner, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Arouca with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' 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' Serginho is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
  • 35' FC Arouca is showing some good football. However, FC Arouca are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 40' It looks surprising FC Arouca does not make any changes. Sidney Lima has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 44' Jose Tavares is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 45' FC Arouca receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Arouca needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 65' CD Santa Clara looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Gabriel Silva scoring 1 goals.
  • 66' It’s a booking for FC Arouca player. Hyun-Ju Lee gets a card.
  • 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CD Santa Clara that had 312 games and scored 256 goals.
  • 76' Serginho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 81' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 83' Sensational shot from Tiago Esgaio. FC Arouca is back in the lead.
  • 88' It’s gonna be a card for Frederico Venancio.
  • The final score is 2-2.
