Events

0' The game is set. FC Midtjylland kicks off things out of here…
2' Erik Sviatchenko puts FC Midtjylland on the lead.
7' Portugal international Paulo Oliveira has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

17' FC Midtjylland is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
21' Andre Castro is having his name booked by the referee on 21.
26' Sporting Clube de Braga come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
31' 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.

64' Raphael Nwadike is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
69' Over 69 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
72' Fresh legs for Sporting Clube de Braga! Abel Ruiz comes on to replace Iuri Medeiros.
77' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Midtjylland in their trying to find a way past Sporting Clube de Braga's compact .
80' A moment of madness from Moura on 80 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Sporting Clube de Braga will be frustrated.
83' Joel Andersson picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
85' What an equalizer from Wenderson Galeno!
