5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
10' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
15' 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 Nicolas Otamendi suffering a number of foals already.
20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
25' The 22-year-old Antonio Silva has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

32' A quiet spell here at Estadio Jose Alvalade. Sport Lisboa e Benfica seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
36' Morten Hjulmand catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 36.
41' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Franjo Ivanovic made 244 appearances and scored 25 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
46' Sporting Clube de Portugal seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
51' Sporting Clube de Portugal have won 704 goals from 516 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
