- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Vitor Goncalves is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Porto.

- 70' 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.
- 75' FC Porto 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.
- 76' The FC Porto bench stirs into life. Tiquinho is withdrawn and Oliver Torres gets his opportunity.
- 81' Maxi Pereira has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
