- 5' It’s high time Vasco Seabra made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' 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 Alfonso Trezza suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Gil Vicente FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 32' Gil Vicente FC is showing some good football. However, Gil Vicente FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
