  • 17' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 21' Poor challenge from Andre Castro. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 26' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Abel Ruiz made 525 appearances and scored 34 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 80' Sporting Clube de Braga receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 80.
