Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Municipal de Arouca as FC Arouca face off against Sporting Clube de Portugal in what promises to be a fascinating contest.

  • 10' FC Arouca currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 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 Ignacio De Arruabarrena suffering a number of foals already.
  • 19' GOAL! Viktor Gyokeres fires home to make it 0-1!
  • 24' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Sporting Clube de Portugal winning 100% of all matches.

  • 44' With 0 assists to his name this season, Geny Catamo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Arouca.
  • 46' Eduardo Quaresma makes way for Goncalo Inacio at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Clube de Portugal.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 505 games and scored 676 goals.
  • 56' Goncalo Inacio is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Arouca tonight.
  • 61' FC Arouca are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Trincao, as he is very good at scoring at Municipal de Arouca with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 67' The whistle greets Sebastian Coates as he departs to be replaced by Jerry St. Juste.
  • 72' Another change for FC Arouca made on 72 minute. Jason leaves to be changed by Yusuf Lawal.
