- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Porto and CD Santa Clara has kicked off!
- 5' 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.
- 10' CD Santa Clara is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Porto that had 491 games and scored 697 goals.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alan Varela made 175 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' 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.
- 30' It looks surprising CD Santa Clara does not make any changes. Pedro Pacheco has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' Luis Fernando has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jakub Kiwior, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Do Dragao with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 60' CD Santa Clara started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
- 65' 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.
- 69' What a strike from Sidney Lima! The score is 0-1.
- 74' 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.
- 79' FC Porto looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 84' CD Santa Clara 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.
- 89' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Porto winning 100% of all matches.
