  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Cezary Miszta is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rio Ave FC.
  • 15' A stunning finish from Theofanis Bakoulas — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Vitoria SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 24' That is a card for Rio Ave FC. Joao Tome will be fuming at that decision.
  • 29' Vitoria SC currently sit 6 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 31' What a moment for Joao Mendes! That strike on 31 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 36' Joao Tome makes way for Joao Pedro at the 36 minute mark. A tactical switch from Rio Ave FC.
  • 41' Vitoria SC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Rio Ave FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 43' Filipe Relvas picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 44' Sensational shot from Telmo Arcanjo. Vitoria SC is back in the lead.

  • 77' Andreas Ndoj has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 82' Rio Ave FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martim Neto is hanging Theofanis Bakoulas on the field on 82 minute.
  • 85' The referee calls foul for Andre Luiz. He receives a card.
