Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Estadio da Luz that hosts another battle between Sport Lisboa e Benfica and CD Nacional.
  • 5' The deadlock is broken! Zeki Amdouni gets on the scoresheet on 5 minutes.
  • 10' Daniel Penha has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' The 23-year-old Alvaro Carreras has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 19' Controversy at the stadium! Ze Vitor argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 23' What a moment for Orkun Kokcu! That strike on 23 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 28' El Hadji Soumare has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 428 appearances.
  • 33' CD Nacional fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 38' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sport Lisboa e Benfica must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 43' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' El Hadji Soumare has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
  • 50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sport Lisboa e Benfica and CD Nacional are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' Another substitution for CD Nacional to replace Chiheb Labidi by Joel Tagueu on 57 minute.
  • 62' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bruno Nascimento will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 67' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 68' Sport Lisboa e Benfica manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Renato Sanches is hanging Orkun Kokcu on the field on 68 minute.
  • 72' The whistle greets Dudu as he departs to be replaced by Ruben Macedo.
  • 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 Joao Aurelio suffering a number of foals already.
  • 81' Daniel Penha is ready to make an impact after coming on for Paulinho Boia at the 81 minute mark.
  • 83' Bruma makes way for Andreas Schjelderup at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
  • 88' Controversy at the stadium! Joao Aurelio argues furiously but the card stands.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
