Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Rio Ave FC kicks off things out of here…
- 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 Aderllan Santos suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' FC Famalicao are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Luis Freire will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ivan Jaime Pajuelo made 245 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' FC Famalicao are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Rio Ave FC backline.
- 30' Joao Graca is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Famalicao side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 46' It is a substitution in FC Famalicao team. Leandro Sanca is replaced by Mihai Dobre on 46 minute.
- 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Famalicao and Rio Ave FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Famalicao that had 245 games and scored 311 goals.
- 59' The whistle greets Amine Oudrhiri Idrissi as he departs to be replaced by Andreas Samaris.
- 64' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 68' The Rio Ave FC bench stirs into life. Joao Graca is withdrawn and Hernani gets his opportunity.
- 73' Andreas Samaris is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Rio Ave FC tonight.
- 74' The supporters are chanting for Paulo Vitor. He replaces Fabio Ronaldo on 74 minute.
- 78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Josue Sa on 78.
- 81' David Tavares is replacing Zaydou Youssouf for the FC Famalicao side.
