31' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
36' 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 Aderlan suffering a number of foals already.

90' The crowd applauds Ousmane Diomande as he leaves the pitch. Luis Neto steps in for Sporting Clube de Portugal.
