- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Sport Lisboa e Benfica launch into their encounter with OGC Nice.
- 5' Algeria international Badredine Bouanani has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' OGC Nice fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 15' Antonio Silva needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 18' What a moment for Fredrik Aursnes! That strike on 18 puts his side firmly in control.
- 23' Sport Lisboa e Benfica are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined OGC Nice backline.
- 27' Andreas Schjelderup has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 27 minutes.
- 32' Sport Lisboa e Benfica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 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 Franjo Ivanovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 47' Sport Lisboa e Benfica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 47.
- 52' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 57' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 67' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 67 minutes.
- 72' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sport Lisboa e Benfica and OGC Nice are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 77' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sport Lisboa e Benfica that had 467 games and scored 818 goals.
- 87' Sport Lisboa e Benfica 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.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
