- 5' The 29-year-old Joao Basso has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 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 Andre Amaro suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Nelson Da Luz is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vitória SC.

- 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Alan Ruiz.
- 81' 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.
