Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Estadio Do Dragao that hosts another battle between FC Porto and CD Santa Clara.
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CD Santa Clara that had 319 games and scored 267 goals.
- 15' CD Santa Clara are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' 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.
- 25' CD Santa Clara is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' The travelling CD Santa Clara supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 40' FC Porto are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CD Santa Clara backline.
- 45' FC Porto currently sit 1 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 55' Deniz Gul, a Turkey , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 60' 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 Moura suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Porto and CD Santa Clara are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 69' Goal! Sidney Lima scores his 5 goal in 319 matches.
- 74' FC Porto have won 715 goals from 499 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 79' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 84' Victor Froholdt has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 89' The energy levels are beginning to show. Francesco Farioli might look to freshen things up shortly.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Porto players.
