Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Municipal de Arouca will turn into a battlefield for FC Arouca and GD Estoril Praia.
  • 3' Xeka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 3 minutes.
  • 8' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ian Cathro might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 13' GOAL! Barbero scores on 13. Assisted by Nais Djouahra
  • 18' 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 Bas Kuipers suffering a number of foals already.
  • 23' Jordan Holsgrove has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 23.
  • 28' 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.
  • 32' Goal! Yanis Begraoui scores his 32 goal in 439 matches.
  • 37' The travelling GD Estoril Praia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 47' Magnificent from Jose Fontan! That is 10 goals in 328 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' The Spain Pablo Gozalbez breaks the deadlock on 55 minutes. 3-2!
  • 56' Poor challenge from Pablo Gozalbez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 61' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 65' Another change for GD Estoril Praia made on 65 minute. Xeka leaves to be changed by Alejandro Marques.
  • 70' Hyun-Ju Lee has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 71' Andre picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 74' Another change for GD Estoril Praia made on 74 minute. Andre leaves to be changed by Peixinho.
  • 77' The whistle greets Pablo Gozalbez as he departs to be replaced by Puche.
  • 82' Scotland international Jordan Holsgrove has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 83' Fresh legs for FC Arouca! Pedro Santos comes on to replace Barbero.
  • 88' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Arouca and GD Estoril Praia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Ignacio De Arruabarrena.
  • 90' Fally Mayulu has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nais Djouahra on 90 minute.
  • Full Time. FC Arouca beats GD Estoril Praia
