Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Sporting Clube de Portugal get us underway at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
1' Geny Catamo doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
4' That looks like a foul for a card for Geny Catamo.
9' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
14' The 31-year-old Hidemasa Morita has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
19' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sporting Clube de Portugal must find a spark to ignite this game.
24' Angel di Maria needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nicolas Otamendi on 27.
32' 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.
37' The energy levels are beginning to show. Roger Schmidt might look to freshen things up shortly.
40' The referee calls foul for David Neres. He receives a card.
45' The referee shows Sport Lisboa e Benfica player a card on 45.
48' What a strike from Alexander Bah! The score is 1-1.
53' It looks surprising Sporting Clube de Portugal does not make any changes. Marcos Leonardo Almeida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
54' The supporters are chanting for Daniel Braganca. He replaces Hidemasa Morita on 54 minute.
59' Argentina international Nicolas Otamendi has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.

69' Sporting Clube de Portugal started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 69.
71' Sport Lisboa e Benfica manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Arthur Cabral is hanging Casper Tengstedt on the field on 71 minute.
72' The Sporting Clube de Portugal bench stirs into life. Pedro Goncalves is withdrawn and Marcus Edwards gets his opportunity.
74' Casper Tengstedt has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 74.
79' Anatolii Trubin has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 207 appearances.
80' Trincao makes way for Paulinho at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sporting Clube de Portugal.
85' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
86' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Fredrik Aursnes.
90' It’s gonna be a card for Paulinho.
90' A tactical swap from Sport Lisboa e Benfica — Marcos Leonardo Almeida on, Rafa Silva off on 90 minutes.
2-1 the final result. Sport Lisboa e Benfica will be bitterly disappointed.
