- 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 10' Vitoria SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 14' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Aderllan Santos.
- 19' 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.
- 24' Rio Ave FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 29' Vitoria SC is showing some good football. However, Vitoria SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 46' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 46 minute. Aderllan Santos leaves to be changed by Toni Borevkovic.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
