Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Famalicão and FC Arouca get this one started.
  • 5' 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 Moura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' David Simao has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Pedro Santos has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 428 appearances.
  • 16' Otavio Ataide is having his name booked by the referee on 16.
  • 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Otavio Ataide on 17.
  • 20' Jason catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 20.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Municipal 22 de Junho. FC Famalicão seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 28' A goal from the Brazil international Otavio Ataide! He fires home on 28 to make it 0-1!
  • 33' The travelling FC Arouca supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' 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.
  • 39' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Riccieli on 39 minutes.
  • 44' FC Arouca make a change. Tiago Esgaio trudges off to be replaced by Bogdan Milovanov on 44 minutes.
  • 45' A moment of madness from Oscar Aranda on 45 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Famalicao will be frustrated.
  • 50' FC Arouca have won 181 goals from 171 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 51' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Lucas Martinez on 51 minutes.
  • 56' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Famalicão must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 58' That is a Red card for FC Famalicao. Riccieli will be fuming at that decision.
  • 58' FC Famalicao ring the changes. Tom Lacoux has done his job and it is now time for Mirko Topic to step up.
  • 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Arouca that had 171 games and scored 181 goals.
  • 64' Nathan is replacing Lucas Martinez for the FC Famalicao side.
  • 64' Nino Galovic is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
  • 65' The crowd applauds Lucas Martinez as he leaves the pitch. Nathan steps in for FC Famalicao.
  • 70' It looks surprising FC Arouca does not make any changes. Zaydou Youssouf has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' Rafa Mujica has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 74.
  • 75' Andre Bukia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Nino Galovic at the 75 minute mark.
  • 77' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Red card for Rafa Mujica.
  • 82' Ignacio De Arruabarrena has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 83' FC Famalicao ring the changes. Chiquinho has done his job and it is now time for Afonso Rodrigues to step up.
  • 87' FC Arouca make a change. David Simao trudges off to be replaced by Oriol Busquets on 87 minutes.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Arouca.
