Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Estadio dos Arcos that hosts another battle between Rio Ave FC and FC Porto.
  • 5' Joao Graca is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Porto so far.
  • 10' Josue Sa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 14 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Magrao is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rio Ave FC.
  • 16' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Aderlan.
  • 19' That is a Yellow card for FC Porto. Nico Gonzalez will be fuming at that decision.
  • 20' FC Porto player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 25' 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 Pepe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' Wendell, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 32' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Amine Oudrhiri.
  • 37' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 42' Renato Pantalon needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
  • 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mehdi Taremi made 10 appearances and scored 114 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 52' Costinha does the damage! The net is bulging and Rio Ave FC surge ahead!
  • 56' Josue Sa catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 56.
  • 61' Over 61 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 62' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Renato Pantalon.
  • 62' FC Porto ring the changes. Zaidu Sanusi has done his job and it is now time for Wendell to step up.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Danny Loader. He replaces Toni Martinez on 63 minute.
  • 64' Leonardo Ruiz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Joao Graca at the 64 minute mark.
  • 68' Wendell picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 73' Rio Ave FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 75' Rio Ave FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ze Manuel is hanging Joca on the field on 75 minute.
  • 76' Danny Loader has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 76.
  • 78' The whistle greets Mehdi Taremi as he departs to be replaced by Fran Navarro.
  • 83' The energy levels are beginning to show. Luis Freire might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 88' Rio Ave FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Porto backline.
  • 90' Bruno Ventura is replacing Guga Rodrigues for the Rio Ave FC side.
