Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Estadio Municipal de Braga as Sporting Clube de Braga face off against Real Madrid CF in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sporting Clube de Braga and Real Madrid CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' The travelling Real Madrid CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Sporting Clube de Braga started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 16' The Brazil Rodrygo breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 0-1!
- 17' Magnificent from Rodrygo! That is 79 goals in 285 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 22' The 26-year-old Fran Garcia has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 32' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Artur Jorge will be considering his options from the bench.
- 37' 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.
- 42' 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 Vitor Carvalho suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' 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.
- 52' Real Madrid CF is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 57' 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.
- 61' Jude Bellingham doubles the advantage! 0-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 63' Alvaro Djalo does the damage! The net is bulging and Sporting Clube de Braga surge ahead!
- 66' Sporting Clube de Braga manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruma is hanging Vitor Carvalho on the field on 66 minute.
- 71' A tactical swap from Real Madrid CF — Aurelien Tchouameni on, Rodrygo off on 71 minutes.
- 72' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Eduardo Camavinga.
- 73' A tactical swap from Sporting Clube de Braga — Diogo Fonseca on, Joe Mendes off on 73 minutes.
- 75' Another substitution for Real Madrid CF to replace Fran Garcia by Ferland Mendy on 75 minute.
- 78' Sporting Clube de Braga make a change. Ali Al Musrati trudges off to be replaced by Joao Moutinho on 78 minutes.
- 83' With 0 assists to his name this season, Federico Valverde is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Real Madrid CF.
- 88' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-1-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 89' The Real Madrid CF manager makes a substitution. Jude Bellingham departs to be replaced by Lucas Vazquez.
- 90' Poor challenge from Nacho. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Sporting Clube de Braga.
