7' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Portugal player. Gonzalo Plata gets a Yellow card.
12' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 517 games and scored 705 goals.
15' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pedro Amaral.
20' Sporting Clube de Portugal currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
