- 30' Sporting Clube de Braga started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 40' 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.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. IF Elfsborg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 46' Sporting Clube de Braga manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Amine El Ouazzani is hanging Roberto Fernandez on the field on 46 minute.

- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
