  • 5' Against the run of play, Zeki Amdouni has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 10' 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 Andrea Belotti suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' CD Nacional fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 19' Ze Vitor has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 19.

  • 28' With 0 assists to his name this season, El Hadji Soumare is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sport Lisboa e Benfica.
  • 33' A quiet spell here at Estadio da Luz. CD Nacional seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 38' 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.

  • 45' That is a card for CD Nacional. El Hadji Soumare will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' Portugal international Leandro Santos has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 55' Sport Lisboa e Benfica are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against CD Nacional's 4-1-4-1 shape.
  • 57' Joel Tagueu has so much to prove this time. He replaces Chiheb Labidi on 57 minute.
  • 62' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tiago Margarido might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 67' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 68' Sport Lisboa e Benfica make a change. Orkun Kokcu trudges off to be replaced by Renato Sanches on 68 minutes.
  • 72' The CD Nacional bench stirs into life. Dudu is withdrawn and Ruben Macedo gets his opportunity.
  • 77' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 81' The whistle greets Paulinho Boia as he departs to be replaced by Daniel Penha.

  • 88' A moment of madness from Joao Aurelio on 88 minutes earns him a card. CD Nacional will be frustrated.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Sport Lisboa e Benfica players.
