Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Porto and Rio Ave FC is underway.
- 5' Rio Ave FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' 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 Agustin Marchesin suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Spain international Marcano has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 18' What a strike from Chancel Mbemba! The score is 1-0.
- 23' Over 23 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 28' 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.
- 29' A moment of madness from Diogo Figueiras on 29 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Rio Ave FC will be frustrated.
- 32' Mehdi Taremi has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 32 minutes.
- 34' Alex Telles picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 39' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 44' 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.
- 49' 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.
- 54' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 54 minutes.
- 59' Toni Borevkovic was booked on 59.
- 62' FC Porto manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Romario Baro is hanging Shoya Nakajima on the field on 62 minute.
- 67' The travelling Rio Ave FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 72' Rio Ave FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 77' Rio Ave FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 78' Aderllan Santos makes no mistake. The score reads 1-2 and Rio Ave FC are in front.
- 81' Another substitution for FC Porto to replace Tiquinho by Vincent Aboubakar on 81 minute.
- 86' It’s a booking for Rio Ave FC player. Aderllan Santos gets a Yellow card.
- 88' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Lucas Piazon has done his job and it is now time for Gelson Dala to step up.
- 89' A change in the FC Porto ranks — Danilo Pereira exits the field as Fabio Silva enters on 89.
- 90' The Rio Ave FC bench stirs into life. Diogo Figueiras is withdrawn and Junio gets his opportunity.
- 90' Pedro Amaral was booked on 90.
