  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' It looks surprising FC Arouca does not make any changes. Nico Gonzalez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Galeno has been relatively quiet despite scoring 45 goals in his last 328 appearances.
  • 25' Tiago Esgaio has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 26' Fabio Cardoso picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 36' It’s high time Daniel Ramos made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 41' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Porto in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past FC Arouca's compact 5-4-1.

  • 62' A moment of madness from Ignacio De Arruabarrena on 62 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Arouca will be frustrated.
  • 67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eboue Kouassi made 175 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 68' FC Porto manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Goncalo Borges is hanging Joao Mario Lopes on the field on 68 minute.
