  • 5' Omar Richards has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' 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 Clayton suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rio Ave FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 17' GOAL! Jonathan Panzo scores on 17.

  • 49' That looks like a foul for a card for Demir Tiknaz.
  • 52' Boavista FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 52.
  • 57' Rio Ave FC is showing some good football. However, Rio Ave FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 62' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ilija Vukotic made 365 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Karem Zoabi. He replaces Ole Pohlmann on 63 minute.

  • 74' What an equalizer from Ilija Vukotic!
