  • 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Terry Yegbe is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sporting Clube de Braga.
  • 10' IF Elfsborg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Braga that had 437 games and scored 585 goals.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carlos Carvalhal will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 35' It’s high time Oscar Hiljemark made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' It is a cagey affair so far. IF Elfsborg in their trying to find a way past Sporting Clube de Braga's compact .
  • 45' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Sporting Clube de Braga team. Roberto Fernandez is replaced by Amine El Ouazzani on 46 minute.

  • 61' Sporting Clube de Braga ring the changes. Ismael Gharbi has done his job and it is now time for Bruma to step up.

  • 76' The IF Elfsborg bench stirs into life. Michael Baidoo is withdrawn and Emil Holten gets his opportunity.
  • 81' 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 Andri Baldursson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' What a strike from Emil Holten! The score is 2-0.
  • 87' Fresh legs for Sporting Clube de Braga! Joao Marques comes on to replace Ricardo Horta.
