15' Luis Neto has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
20' 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.
25' It looks surprising SK Sturm Graz does not make any changes. Seedy Jatta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
35' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

57' William Boving has so much to prove this time. He replaces Seedy Jatta on 57 minute.
60' Assisted by Marcus Edwards with the perfectly-timed delivery and Goncalo Inacio makes no mistake. 2-0!
65' Over 65 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
70' Magnificent from Goncalo Inacio! That is 22 goals in 517 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
75' Jon Stankovic picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
75' Javier Serrano is replacing Otar Kiteishvili for the SK Sturm Graz side.
80' Sporting Clube de Portugal currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
82' The SK Sturm Graz bench stirs into life. Manprit Sarkaria is withdrawn and Szymon Wlodarczyk gets his opportunity.
