- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Arouca and Moreirense FC has kicked off!
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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 Bernardo Martins suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' Portugal international Pedro Santos has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 25' Morlaye Sylla is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Arouca tonight.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Arouca that had 178 games and scored 190 goals.

- 46' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 51' It’s high time Vasco Seabra made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 54' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jose Fontan on 54 minutes.

- 67' A change in the FC Arouca ranks — Alfonso Trezza exits the field as Jason enters on 67.
- 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Moreirense FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
