Events
Match Events
- 0' Sporting Clube de Portugal have kicked off against CD Nacional. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' It’s high time Rui Borges made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 15' It looks surprising CD Nacional does not make any changes. Jose Gomes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 18' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Chiheb Labidi on 18 minutes.
- 23' 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.
- 28' With 0 assists to his name this season, Lucas Franca is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sporting Clube de Portugal.
- 33' CD Nacional fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 38' Sporting Clube de Portugal currently sit 1 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CD Nacional that had 270 games and scored 112 goals.
- 46' Trincao has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 45 minutes.
- 46' Joel Tagueu gets the nod from CD Nacional. He replaces Isaac Aguiar and will look to change the dynamic.
- 51' Brazil international Ze Vitor has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

- 75' Daniel Penha is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bruno Costa at the 75 minute mark.
- 79' Andre Sousa is replacing Luis Esteves for the CD Nacional side.
- 84' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
