Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The 28-year-old Pepelu has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' It’s high time João Henriques made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 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 Vincent Koziello suffering a number of foals already.
- 16' What composure from Kenji Gorre! The Curacao international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 19' Larry Azouni catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 19.
- 22' A stunning finish from Ricardo Quaresma — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 33' Gideon Mensah catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
- 38' Vitória SC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Gustavo Silva scoring 1 goals.
- 41' That is a Yellow card for Vitoria SC. Jorge Fernandes will be fuming at that decision.
- 46' A quiet spell here at Estadio Dom Afonso Henriques. Vitória SC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 51' A stunning finish from Oscar Estupinan — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 58' Poor challenge from Kenji Gorre. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 61' Goal! Lucas Kal scores his 3 goal in 296 matches.
- 65' The Vitoria SC bench stirs into life. Marcus Edwards is withdrawn and Rochinha gets his opportunity.
- 67' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Andre Andre.
- 69' A tactical swap from CD Nacional — Vincent Koziello on, Joao Vigario off on 69 minutes.
- 71' The crowd applauds Gideon Mensah as he leaves the pitch. Zie Mohamed Ouattara steps in for Vitoria SC.
- 76' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 81' Fresh legs for CD Nacional! Vincent Thill comes on to replace Brayan Riascos.
- 82' Fresh legs for CD Nacional! Vincent Thill comes on to replace Brayan Riascos.
- 83' Another substitution for CD Nacional to replace Nuno Borges by Ruben Micael on 83 minute.
- 84' The Vitoria SC bench stirs into life. Oscar Estupinan is withdrawn and Bruno Duarte gets his opportunity.
- 89' Marcus Edwards is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for CD Nacional tonight.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
