Events

Match Events

  • 10' Rio Ave FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' GOAL! Theofanis Bakoulas scores on 15.
  • 20' Vitoria SC currently sit 6 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 24' Joao Tome picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 29' Vitoria SC have won 374 goals from 401 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 31' Joao Mendes does the damage! The net is bulging and Vitoria SC surge ahead!
  • 36' A tactical swap from Rio Ave FC — Joao Pedro on, Joao Tome off on 36 minutes.
  • 41' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vitoria SC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 43' Vitoria SC receives a card for a hard tackle on 43.
