Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Rio Ave FC gets underway.
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Magnificent from Toni Martinez! That is 52 goals in 243 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tarantini, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 20' 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 Lucas Piazon suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Rio Ave FC 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' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 37' Pedro Goncalves doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 42' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Matheus Reis.
- 44' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Uros Racic.
- 45' Diogo Figueiras picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' Carlos Mane has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lucas Piazon on 46 minute.
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Carlos Carvalhal will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' With 0 assists to his name this season, Anderson is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Famalicao.
- 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Rio Ave FC and FC Famalicao are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 63' Brilliant from the ! Gelson Dala makes it 1-2 with a superb finish on 63.
- 68' Rio Ave FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 70' FC Famalicao ring the changes. Toni Martinez has done his job and it is now time for Anderson to step up.
- 72' Toni Borevkovic catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 72.
- 73' Tarantini has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 73 minutes.
- 75' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Diego Lopes.
- 76' Another substitution for FC Famalicao to replace Ruben Lameiras by Walterson on 76 minute.
- 81' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 83' Pedro Goncalves was booked on 83.
- 85' Riccieli was booked on 85.
- 89' A tactical swap from FC Famalicao — Guga Rodrigues on, Pedro Goncalves off on 89 minutes.
- The final score is 2-2.
