Events
Match Events
- 0' FC Porto have kicked off against CD Santa Clara. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' It looks surprising FC Porto does not make any changes. Luis Fernando has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' CD Santa Clara are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' 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.
- 25' CD Santa Clara is showing some good football. However, CD Santa Clara are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Pedro Pacheco is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Porto so far.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' FC Porto are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Petit might look to freshen things up shortly.

- 55' Alberto Baio is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Porto tonight.
- 60' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 65' CD Santa Clara fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 69' The Brazil Sidney Lima breaks the deadlock on 69 minutes. 0-1!
- 74' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Porto in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past CD Santa Clara's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 79' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Francesco Farioli will be considering his options from the bench.
- 84' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 89' Rodrigo Mora has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
