Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Vietnam gets underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vietnam that had 3 games and scored 0 goals.
  • 7' GOAL! Telma Encarnacao scores on 7. Assisted by Lucia Alves
  • 12' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hai Yen Pham, as he is very good at scoring at Waikato Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 17' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thi Thu Thuong Luong made 3 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 21' GOAL! Kika Nazareth scores on 21. Assisted by Telma Encarnacao
  • 26' 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.
  • 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
  • 36' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 41' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 46' Portugal looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Telma Encarnacao scoring 1 goals.
  • 51' 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 Thi Kieu Chuong suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Portugal winning 100% of all matches.
  • 61' Portugal is showing some good football. However, Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' Tran Thi Hai Linh is replacing Thi Bich Thuy Nguyen for the Vietnam side.
  • 69' Andreia Norton has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jessica Silva on 69 minute.
  • 71' The Vietnam manager makes a substitution. Thi Thu Thuong Luong departs to be replaced by Thi Kieu Chuong.
  • 75' It is a substitution in Portugal team. Telma Encarnacao is replaced by Carolina Mendes on 75 minute.
  • 80' 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.
  • 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 86' The referee calls foul for Ana Borges. He receives a card.
  • 90' Another change for Portugal made on 90 minute. Andreia Jacinto leaves to be changed by Silvia Rebelo.
  • With this win, Portugal is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
