Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Estadio do Rio Ave F.C.. Rio Ave FC are looking to make home advantage count against SC Farense.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' Mohamed Belloumi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Rio Ave FC so far.
  • 15' It looks surprising SC Farense does not make any changes. Renato Pantalon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Rio Ave FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SC Farense backline.
  • 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Rio Ave FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 30' Talys Oliveira, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 32' Patrick William has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 32 minutes.
  • 37' The travelling SC Farense supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 39' Neto was booked on 39.
  • 44' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 49' 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 Ole Pohlmann suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Farense is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 58' The SC Farense manager makes a substitution. Filipe Soares departs to be replaced by Dario Poveda.
  • 63' Marious Vrousai has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
  • 64' Geovanny Almeida has so much to prove this time. He replaces Neto on 64 minute.
  • 65' Marco Matias has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alex Bermejo on 65 minute.
  • 70' SC Farense are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 74' The whistle greets Amine Oudrhiri as he departs to be replaced by Vitor Gomes.
  • 79' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 84' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Farense needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 85' Talys Oliveira makes way for Elves at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Farense.
  • 86' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 86 minute. Joao Novais leaves to be changed by Brandon Aguilera.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Rio Ave FC players.
