  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' It’s high time Christian Ilzer made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' Daniel Braganca has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 23' What a strike from Nuno Santos! The score is 0-1.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SK Sturm Graz that had 141 games and scored 37 goals.
  • 33' Sporting Clube de Portugal 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.
  • 38' Sporting Clube de Portugal is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 39' Malick Yalcouye is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' The travelling Sporting Clube de Portugal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 59' SK Sturm Graz manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Max Johnston is hanging Niklas Geyrhofer on the field on 59 minute.
  • 64' 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 Trincao suffering a number of foals already.
  • 69' 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.

  • 89' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jusuf Gazibegovic made 141 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
