Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! FC Famalicão vs Rio Ave FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Rio Ave FC that had 324 games and scored 268 goals.
  • 10' Rio Ave FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Rio Ave FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Rio Ave FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' Rio Ave FC is showing some good football. However, Rio Ave FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' The travelling Rio Ave FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' Mihai Dobre gets the nod from FC Famalicao. He replaces Leandro Sanca and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' Jhonder Cadiz has been relatively quiet despite scoring 38 goals in his last 69 appearances.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rio Ave FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 59' It is a substitution in Rio Ave FC team. Amine Oudrhiri Idrissi is replaced by Andreas Samaris on 59 minute.
  • 64' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 68' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Joao Graca has done his job and it is now time for Hernani to step up.
  • 73' It looks surprising Rio Ave FC does not make any changes. Leonardo Ruiz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 74 minute. Fabio Ronaldo leaves to be changed by Paulo Vitor.
  • 78' Josue Sa has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 78.
  • 81' Another change for FC Famalicao made on 81 minute. Zaydou Youssouf leaves to be changed by David Tavares.
  • 86' 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 Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Andreas Samaris on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Rio Ave FC will be frustrated.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
