- 0' And we are off! FC Porto vs Sporting Clube de Braga — let the football do the talking.

- 29' 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 Nico Gonzalez suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sporting Clube de Braga needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 75' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Vitor Carvalho.
- 80' Diogo Costa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
