Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Vitória SC host Rio Ave FC — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' 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 Toni Borevkovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Against the run of play, Theofanis Bakoulas has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 20' Rio Ave FC is showing some good football. However, Rio Ave FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 24' It’s gonna be a card for Joao Tome.
  • 29' Andreas Ndoj has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 31' What a strike from Joao Mendes! The score is 0-2.
  • 36' Rio Ave FC ring the changes. Joao Tome has done his job and it is now time for Joao Pedro to step up.
  • 41' 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.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a card for Filipe Relvas.
  • 44' A stunning finish from Telmo Arcanjo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 49' Tomas Handel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vitória SC tonight.
  • 54' The travelling Rio Ave FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 58' Another substitution for Rio Ave FC to replace Ole Pohlmann by Joao Novais on 58 minute.
  • 63' The Vitoria SC bench stirs into life. Telmo Arcanjo is withdrawn and Nuno Santos gets his opportunity.
  • 67' The Vitoria SC manager makes a substitution. Chuchu departs to be replaced by Nelson Oliveira.
  • 72' The 32-year-old Joao Novais has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 77' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 82' Martim Neto has so much to prove this time. He replaces Theofanis Bakoulas on 82 minute.
  • 85' The referee has no hesitation. Andre Luiz is booked for Rio Ave FC — card on 85.
  • 90' Joao Pedro needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Vitória SC 3-0 Rio Ave FC.
