Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Famalicao to score. At the same time, Sporting Clube de Braga does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Sporting Clube de Braga seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Famalicao in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Sporting Clube de Braga's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 15' Jhonder Cadiz is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Clube de Braga tonight.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 21' Vitor Carvalho has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 21.
  • 26' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Pizzi gets a Yellow card.
  • 27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Otavio Ataide.
  • 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nathan made 297 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 37' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Braga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 42' FC Famalicao are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 46' Vitor Carvalho makes way for Rodrigo Zalazar at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Clube de Braga.
  • 51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Famalicao needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 56' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 62' Jhonder Cadiz has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 62 minutes.
  • 63' Sporting Clube de Braga make a change. Pizzi trudges off to be replaced by Roger Fernandes on 63 minutes.

  • 73' What a strike from Cristian Borja! The score is 1-1.
  • 76' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jhonder Cadiz on 76 minutes.
  • 81' 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 Abel Ruiz suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' A change in the FC Famalicao ranks — Jhonder Cadiz exits the field as Henrique Araujo enters on 86.
  • 89' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Joao Moutinho on 89 minutes.
