  • 7' The crowd applauds Bryan Cristante as he leaves the pitch. Bruno Peres steps in for AS Roma.
  • 12' Sporting Clube de Braga are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined AS Roma backline.
  • 17' 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.
  • 22' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 27' AS Roma come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 32' That is a Yellow card for Sporting Clube de Braga. Ricardo Esgaio will be fuming at that decision.
  • 37' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Braga is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
  • 47' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 52' Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 53' Gonzalo Villar gets the nod from AS Roma. He replaces Roger Ibanez and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 69' Another substitution for AS Roma to replace Edin Dzeko by Borja Mayoral on 69 minute.
  • 74' 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 Pau Lopez suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Stephan El Shaarawy is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for AS Roma so far.
  • 84' The travelling AS Roma supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
