Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Estadio dos Arcos!
  • 5' CD Santa Clara come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 8' It’s a booking for Rio Ave FC player. Patrick gets a Yellow card.
  • 13' Cristian Gonzalez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Emmanuel Boateng does the damage! The net is bulging and Rio Ave FC surge ahead!
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CD Santa Clara needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Rio Ave FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined CD Santa Clara backline.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' 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 Pierre Sagna suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rio Ave FC and CD Santa Clara are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 41' It’s a booking for Rio Ave FC player. Joao Pedro Loureiro Costa gets a Yellow card.

  • 56' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 56 minute. Emmanuel Boateng leaves to be changed by Fabio Ronaldo.
  • 61' 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.
  • 62' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Andreas Samaris has done his job and it is now time for Vitor Gomes to step up.
  • 65' Cristian Gonzalez picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 65' Kyosuke Tagawa gets the nod from CD Santa Clara. He replaces Nunes Matheus and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 66' That is a Red card for CD Santa Clara. Kennedy Boateng will be fuming at that decision.
  • 67' The referee shows CD Santa Clara player a Yellow card on 67.
  • 72' Adriano is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pedro Bicalho at the 72 minute mark.
  • 77' Adriano Firmino has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 82' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 84' The Rio Ave FC manager makes a substitution. Miguel Baeza departs to be replaced by Ukra.
  • 85' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Miguel Baeza has done his job and it is now time for Ukra to step up.
