- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Moreirense FC and CD Nacional is underway.
- 5' CD Nacional are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

- 25' CD Nacional fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' 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 Yan Maranhao suffering a number of foals already.

- 63' The deadlock is broken! Yan Maranhao gets on the scoresheet on 63 minutes.
- 66' The Moreirense FC bench stirs into life. Yan Maranhao is withdrawn and Guilherme Schettine gets his opportunity.
