- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Gil Vicente FC that had 249 games and scored 276 goals.
- 20' Portugal international Costinha has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 24' The referee has no hesitation. Tidjany Toure is booked for Gil Vicente FC — card on 24.
