Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Estadio Municipal de Braganca that hosts another battle between Sporting Clube de Braga and GD Chaves.
- 5' GD Chaves is showing some good football. However, GD Chaves are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' The GD Chaves bench stirs into life. Lionn is withdrawn and Paulinho gets his opportunity.
- 15' 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' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Braga that had 428 games and scored 575 goals.
- 25' Sporting Clube de Braga are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sporting Clube de Braga and GD Chaves are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 33' That is a Yellow card for GD Chaves. Jefferson will be fuming at that decision.
- 38' Paulinho has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 144 appearances.
- 41' Raul Silva picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' Nikola Maras is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sporting Clube de Braga tonight.

- 63' A change in the GD Chaves ranks — Niltinho exits the field as Nemanja Calasan enters on 63.
- 64' Magnificent from Dyego Sousa! That is 27 goals in 428 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 69' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 70' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Fransergio.
- 73' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Antonio Filipe.
- 74' Fresh legs for GD Chaves! Costinha comes on to replace Ruben Macedo.
- 79' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sporting Clube de Braga and GD Chaves are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 80' What a moment for Claudemir! That strike on 80 puts his side firmly in control.
- 85' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 87' Paulinho makes way for Joao Palhinha at the 87 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Clube de Braga.
