Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Sporting Clube de Braga kicks off things out of here…
5' Abel Ruiz is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Gil Vicente FC tonight.
10' Gil Vicente FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
20' Sporting Clube de Braga are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Gil Vicente FC's 4-4-2 shape.
25' Cristian Borja has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 86 appearances.
30' 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 Victor Gomez suffering a number of foals already.
35' Sporting Clube de Braga is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Braga are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
39' Abel Ruiz doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
44' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
49' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
54' Gil Vicente FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
57' The Sporting Clube de Braga bench stirs into life. Paulo Oliveira is withdrawn and Sikou Niakate gets his opportunity.
60' What a moment for Ali Alipour! That strike on 60 puts his side firmly in control.
61' A moment of madness from Leonardo Buta on 61 minutes earns him a card. Gil Vicente FC will be frustrated.
66' That is a card for Gil Vicente FC. Gabriel Pereira will be fuming at that decision.
71' It is a cagey affair so far. Sporting Clube de Braga in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Gil Vicente FC's compact 4-4-2.
73' A change in the Sporting Clube de Braga ranks — Rodrigo Zalazar exits the field as Cher Ndour enters on 73.
74' Gil Vicente FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Murilo is hanging Tidjany Toure on the field on 74 minute.
79' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
82' It’s a booking for Gil Vicente FC player. Ali Alipour gets a card.
85' A tactical swap from Sporting Clube de Braga — Joe Mendes on, Roger Fernandes off on 85 minutes.
89' Sporting Clube de Braga is taking the lead after the goal scored by Simon Banza on 89.
89' The crowd applauds Martim Neto as he leaves the pitch. Jesus Castillo steps in for Gil Vicente FC.
90' Kanya Fujimoto is replacing Leonardo Buta for the Gil Vicente FC side.
With this win, Sporting Clube de Braga is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
