Events

Match Events

  • 16' It looks like no one’s ball. Rio Ave FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 26' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 31' The travelling CD Tondela supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 32' Jhon Murillo does the damage! The net is bulging and CD Tondela surge ahead!
  • 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Miguel Cardoso will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 39' Aderllan Santos is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' 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.
  • 46' Carlos Mane gets the nod from Rio Ave FC. He replaces Guga Rodrigues and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 78' 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 Babacar Niasse suffering a number of foals already.
