  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Vitória SC and FC Arouca are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Guven Yalcin made 34 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' A goal from the Canada international Dieu Michel! He fires home on 20 to make it 0-1!
  • 25' Vitória SC is showing some good football. However, Vitória SC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Arouca is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 40' Nuno Santos doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 45' Kaio Cesar picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

  • 51' FC Arouca are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 56' Against the run of play, Tiago Esgaio has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 58' A change in the FC Arouca ranks — Pedro Santos exits the field as Taichi Fukui enters on 58.
  • 63' 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.
  • 67' The whistle greets Tiago Silva as he departs to be replaced by Joao Mendes.
  • 72' Chico Lamba makes no mistake. The score reads 0-4 and FC Arouca are in front.

  • 76' The crowd applauds Nuno Santos as he leaves the pitch. Nelson Oliveira steps in for Vitoria SC.
  • 80' That looks like a foul for a card for Weverson.
  • 81' The whistle greets Ze Carlos as he departs to be replaced by Marco Cruz.
  • 85' That is a card for FC Arouca. Nico Mantl will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' Dylan Nandin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Pablo Gozalbez as he leaves the pitch. Henrique Araujo steps in for FC Arouca.
