Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Estadio D. Afonso Henriques. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 8' The Spain Jason breaks the deadlock on 8 minutes. 0-1!
- 13' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 18' 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.
- 23' Vitória SC 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.
- 28' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eboue Kouassi made 178 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 31' FC Arouca receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 31.
- 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Arouca winning 100% of all matches.
- 40' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jason on 40 minutes.
- 45' Magnificent from Jota Silva! That is 19 goals in 401 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 50' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vitória SC and FC Arouca are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 55' It looks surprising Vitória SC does not make any changes. Jorge Fernandes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 64' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Andre Silva makes it 0-3.
- 69' named a 3-4-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 71' Cristo Gonzalez has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 71 minutes.
- 73' The FC Arouca bench stirs into life. Jason is withdrawn and Andre Bukia gets his opportunity.
- 78' Toni Borevkovic, a Croatia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 83' David Simao has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 86' Alfonso Trezza is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bogdan Milovanov at the 86 minute mark.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for FC Arouca. Alfonso Trezza will be fuming at that decision.
- 90' Adrian Butzke has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andre Silva on 90 minute.
- Vitória SC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
