Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Sporting Clube de Braga welcome Vitória SC for this crunch clash at Estadio Municipal de Braga.
- 5' Magnificent from Rodrigo Zalazar! That is 14 goals in 515 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 10' Vitória SC is showing some good football. However, Vitória SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Sporting Clube de Braga looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' Vitória SC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sporting Clube de Braga side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sporting Clube de Braga and Vitória SC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Artur Jorge might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 50' It’s high time Álvaro Pacheco made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 53' Vitor Carvalho adds to his 1 season tally! Sporting Clube de Braga lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 58' Vitória SC have won 369 goals from 394 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 63' 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 Adrian Butzke suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' Vitoria SC ring the changes. Nuno Santos has done his job and it is now time for Daniel Silva to step up.
- 70' Ricardo Horta picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 75' Vitoria SC make a change. Andre Silva trudges off to be replaced by Joao Mendes on 75 minutes.
- 76' Pizzi gets the nod from Sporting Clube de Braga. He replaces Rony Lopes and will look to change the dynamic.
- 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
- 84' Vitor Carvalho is having his name booked by the referee on 84.
- 85' The Vitoria SC bench stirs into life. Tomas Ribeiro is withdrawn and Nelson gets his opportunity.
- 90' Andre Castro gets the nod from Sporting Clube de Braga. He replaces Vitor Carvalho and will look to change the dynamic.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
