Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Sport Lisboa e Benfica and PAE AEK.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rodrigo Galo made 127 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 35' Andrija Zivkovic is replacing Rafa Silva for the Sport Lisboa e Benfica side.

  • 47' Petros Mantalos has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 52' 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 Andre Almeida suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' 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.
