Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Senne Lynen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 48 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' The travelling Royale Union Saint-Gilloise supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Teddy Teuma on 17.
- 22' Vitor Tormena needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
- 23' Sporting Clube de Braga receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 23.
- 28' It’s high time Artur Jorge made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 33' Sporting Clube de Braga is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 38' It looks like no one’s ball. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 43' It looks surprising Sporting Clube de Braga does not make any changes. Gustaf Nilsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 48' 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 Bart Nieuwkoop suffering a number of foals already.
- 49' GOAL! Abel Ruiz scores on 49. Assisted by Vitor Oliveira
- 54' Sporting Clube de Braga seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 59' Sporting Clube de Braga started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
- 62' The referee calls foul for Fabiano Silva. He receives a Yellow card.
- 65' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Andre Horta is replaced by Rodrigo Gomes.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Simon Adingra. He replaces Loic Lapoussin on 67 minute.
- 72' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 77' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 79' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Braga. Vitor Oliveira is replaced by Simon Banza.
- 83' It is a substitution in Royale Union Saint-Gilloise team. Ismael Kandouss is replaced by Gustaf Nilsson on 83 minute.
- 86' Goal! Gustaf Nilsson scores his 33 goal in 62 matches.
- 89' Jean Gorby is replacing Andre Castro for the Sporting Clube de Braga side.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Anthony Moris on 90.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise players.
