Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Rio Ave FC gets underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vitoria FC that had 69 games and scored 58 goals.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 11' Another substitution for Vitoria FC to replace Nabil Ghilas by Khaled Hachadi on 11 minute.
- 16' Andre Sousa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 21' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 26' Supporters expect more eagerness from Pawel Kieszek, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio do Rio Ave Futebol Clube with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 27' Vitoria FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jubal is hanging Bruno Pires on the field on 27 minute.
- 32' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
- 33' The referee shows Vitoria FC player a Yellow card on 33.
- 38' Rio Ave FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Carlos Mane on 38.
- 43' Rio Ave FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 48' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Rio Ave FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 49' Nikola Jambor is replacing Tarantini for the Rio Ave FC side.
- 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nuno Valente made 69 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 59' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 62' Another change for Rio Ave FC made on 62 minute. Nuno Santos leaves to be changed by Gabrielzinho.
- 63' Zequinha has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hildeberto on 63 minute.
- 68' The travelling Vitoria FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 73' 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 Semedo suffering a number of foals already.
- 78' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 81' Another substitution for Rio Ave FC to replace Nikola Jambor by Mehdi Taremi on 81 minute.
- 86' Zequinha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- With this win, Rio Ave FC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
