Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Estadio Jose Alvalade. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Daniel Braganca needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 16 Yellow cards this season.
10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ruben Amorim might look to freshen things up shortly.

14' Darwin Nunez adds to his 0 season tally! Sport Lisboa e Benfica lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
15' The deadlock is broken! Darwin Nunez gets on the scoresheet on 15 minutes.
20' 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 Nuno Santos suffering a number of foals already.
25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
30' 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.
35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 519 games and scored 708 goals.
40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
41' A meaty challenge results in booking for Everton on 41.

51' Sporting Clube de Portugal receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 51.
56' It looks surprising Sport Lisboa e Benfica does not make any changes. Paulo Bernardo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

74' Gil Dias has so much to prove this time. He replaces Everton on 74 minute.
75' Adel Taarabt is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
80' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
