Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio Jose Alvalade. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 10' Sporting Clube de Portugal is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Sporting Clube de Portugal is showing some good football. However, Sporting Clube de Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' Joao Palhinha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' A stunning finish from Pedro Goncalves — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 509 games and scored 687 goals.
- 30' Time for substitution for CD Santa Clara. Crysan is replaced by Rui Costa.
- 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Rui Costa, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio Jose Alvalade with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. Sporting Clube de Portugal is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 41' Anderson Carvalho picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' Pierre Sagna has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 56' Sporting Clube de Portugal 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.
- 58' The whistle greets Nuno Mendes as he departs to be replaced by Matheus Reis.
- 63' Poor challenge from Fabio Cardoso. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 67' It is a substitution in CD Santa Clara team. Anderson Carvalho is replaced by Nene on 67 minute.
- 71' Nuno Santos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tabata on 71 minute.
- 76' Nene is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Sporting Clube de Portugal so far.
- 81' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 84' What a moment for Rui Costa! That strike on 84 puts his side firmly in control.
- 86' Time for substitution for Sporting Clube de Portugal. Zouhair Feddal is replaced by Jovane Cabral.
- 90' Pierre Sagna gets the nod from CD Santa Clara. He replaces Rafael Ramos and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' Antunes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
- With this win, Sporting Clube de Portugal is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
