Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sport Lisboa e Benfica gets underway.
- 5' Sport Lisboa e Benfica seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 8' Sport Lisboa e Benfica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 13' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sport Lisboa e Benfica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 23' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 28' Rafa Silva has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 32' That looks like a foul for a Red card for Lucas Verissimo.
- 37' 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 Soualiho Meite suffering a number of foals already.

- 66' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Joao Mario.
- 70' A tactical swap from PSV — Armando Obispo on, Olivier Boscagli off on 70 minutes.
- 74' Soualiho Meite is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rafa Silva at the 74 minute mark.
- 79' Ivory Coast international Ibrahim Sangare has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
