Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Sport Lisboa e Benfica and CD Santa Clara get this one started.
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Sport Lisboa e Benfica is showing some good football. However, Sport Lisboa e Benfica are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' Mohammad Mohebi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
  • 20' Sport Lisboa e Benfica have won 818 goals from 467 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 21' GOAL! Mohammad Mohebi scores on 21.
  • 22' What composure from Mohammad Mohebi! The Iran international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 24' Rafa Silva has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 24.
  • 28' CD Santa Clara receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 28.
  • 30' The referee has no hesitation. Mohammad Mohebi is booked for CD Santa Clara — Yellow card on 30.
  • 32' Hidemasa Morita catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 32.
  • 37' 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 Rafa Silva suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Oscar Barreto picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 45' CD Santa Clara receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' CD Santa Clara started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
  • 52' The crowd applauds Mohammad Mohebi as he leaves the pitch. Nene steps in for CD Santa Clara.
  • 57' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 58' Against the run of play, Darwin Nunez has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 58' Sport Lisboa e Benfica ring the changes. Everton has done his job and it is now time for Roman Yaremchuk to step up.
  • 59' CD Santa Clara receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 59.
  • 60' Brilliant from the ! Darwin Nunez makes it 2-2 with a superb finish on 60.
  • 61' Mikel Villanueva is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 62' A goal from the Uruguay international Darwin Nunez! He fires home on 62 to make it 3-2!
  • 67' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sport Lisboa e Benfica side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 69' The CD Santa Clara bench stirs into life. Oscar Barreto is withdrawn and Paulo Henrique gets his opportunity.
  • 74' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 75' Another change for Sport Lisboa e Benfica made on 75 minute. Goncalo Ramos leaves to be changed by Soualiho Meite.
  • 80' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 81' The CD Santa Clara manager makes a substitution. Anderson Carvalho departs to be replaced by Ruben Oliveira.
  • 82' Julian Weigl is having his name booked by the referee on 82.
  • 83' A meaty challenge results in booking for Julian Weigl on 83.
  • 86' A tactical swap from Sport Lisboa e Benfica — Diogo Goncalves on, Darwin Nunez off on 86 minutes.
