- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Sporting Clube de Braga winning 100% of all matches.
- 40' 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 Claudemir suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Paulinho, as he is very good at scoring at P.D. Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas with 3 goals in the last 1 games.
