Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Porto gets underway.
- 5' It looks surprising FC Porto does not make any changes. Pedro Pacheco has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Deniz Gul, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Do Dragao with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 15' CD Santa Clara is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' FC Porto looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 30' 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.
- 35' 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.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Porto needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 55' 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 Jan Bednarek suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luis Fernando made 247 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 65' It’s high time Francesco Farioli made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 69' CD Santa Clara is taking the lead after the goal scored by Sidney Lima on 69.
- 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
- 79' It looks like no one’s ball. CD Santa Clara is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 84' Welinton has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 89' The travelling CD Santa Clara supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- The final score is 1-0.
