Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Bosuil. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' FC Porto come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 14' The referee has no hesitation. Stephen Eustaquio is booked for FC Porto — Yellow card on 14.
  • 19' Royal Antwerp FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 24' Royal Antwerp FC is showing some good football. However, Royal Antwerp FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 29' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Royal Antwerp FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 34' FC Porto are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 37' A goal from the Nigeria international Alhassan Yusuf! He fires home on 37 to make it 1-0!
  • 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diogo Costa made 499 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 45' David Carmo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
  • 46' Evanilson makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and FC Porto are in front.
  • 51' 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 Jelle Bataille suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' A stunning finish from Stephen Eustaquio — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 55' A goal from the Canada international Stephen Eustaquio! He fires home on 55 to make it 1-3!
