Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and FC Arouca launch into their encounter with GD Estoril Praia.
  • 3' Xeka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 3 minutes.
  • 8' Peixinho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 238 appearances.
  • 13' What composure from Barbero! The Spain international strokes it home. 1-1.
  • 18' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 23' GD Estoril Praia receives a card for a hard tackle on 23.
  • 28' A quiet spell here at Municipal de Arouca. GD Estoril Praia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 32' GOAL! Yanis Begraoui scores on 32. Assisted by Andre
  • 37' 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 Pizzi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' GD Estoril Praia 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.
  • 47' Magnificent from Jose Fontan! That is 8 goals in 320 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 52' FC Arouca are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against GD Estoril Praia's 4-3-1-2 shape.
  • 55' Pablo Gozalbez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
  • 56' FC Arouca receives a card for a hard tackle on 56.
  • 61' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Arouca must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 65' GD Estoril Praia ring the changes. Xeka has done his job and it is now time for Alejandro Marques to step up.
  • 70' Nais Djouahra needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 71' Poor challenge from Andre. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 74' Peixinho is replacing Andre for the GD Estoril Praia side.
  • 77' FC Arouca manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Puche is hanging Pablo Gozalbez on the field on 77 minute.
  • 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Felix Bacher made 493 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 83' The crowd applauds Barbero as he leaves the pitch. Pedro Santos steps in for FC Arouca.
  • 88' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Arouca in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past GD Estoril Praia's compact 4-3-1-2.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Ignacio De Arruabarrena.
  • 90' Fally Mayulu gets the nod from FC Arouca. He replaces Nais Djouahra and will look to change the dynamic.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for GD Estoril Praia.
