0' Welcome to Europa-Park Stadion that hosts another battle between SC Freiburg and Sporting Clube de Braga.
5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 501 games and scored 489 goals.
6' The referee has no hesitation. Mario Dorgeles is booked for Sporting Clube de Braga — card on 6.
7' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Mario Dorgeles gets a card.
12' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
17' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
19' The deadlock is broken! Lukas Kubler gets on the scoresheet on 19 minutes.
24' Both keepers have barely been tested. SC Freiburg and Sporting Clube de Braga are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
29' The 40-year-old Joao Moutinho has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
39' Sporting Clube de Braga started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 39.
41' The deadlock is broken! Johan Manzambi gets on the scoresheet on 41 minutes.
46' SC Freiburg are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Sporting Clube de Braga's 3-4-2-1 shape.
51' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SC Freiburg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
56' It looks like no one’s ball. SC Freiburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
61' Igor Matanovic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
62' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Braga player. Pau Victor Delgado gets a card.
65' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jean-Baptiste Gorby on 65 minutes.
70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Julian Schuster will be considering his options from the bench.
71' Poor challenge from Demir Tiknaz. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
72' Lukas Kubler doubles the advantage! 3-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
77' 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 Matthias Ginter suffering a number of foals already.
79' Pau Victor Delgado does the damage! The net is bulging and Sporting Clube de Braga surge ahead!
84' Sporting Clube de Braga have won 585 goals from 437 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
89' A quiet spell here at Europa-Park Stadion. Sporting Clube de Braga seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
90' Poor challenge from Gabriel Martinez. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for SC Freiburg players.
