- 0' KICK OFF: Rio Ave FC gets underway.

- 29' Joao Graca is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
- 34' 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 Kelechi Nwakali suffering a number of foals already.
