- 20' Magnificent from Portu! That is 35 goals in 211 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 25' Manuel Sanchez has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 538 appearances.
- 30' RC Celta de Vigo 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.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Savio made 489 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
