62 minutes: Triple substitution at FC Porto, with the departure of Martim Fernandes, Diar Halili and Doro Dabó, for the entry of José Macedo, Francisco Guedes and Jorge Meireles.
49 minutes: Umaro Candé’s direct free-kick to force André Gomes to kick the ball and concede a corner.
Start of the second part!
Benfica go into the break with a 1-0 lead, thanks to Ricardo Nóbrega’s goal in the 17th minute. The eagles had greater dominance in this initial stage and ended up being even more comfortable after opening the scoring. The dragons have been trying to react, but so far they haven’t found the way to the goal.
Interval!
34 minutes: Goal disallowed for Benfica. Franculino Djú, following a great work by Hugo Félix, put the ball in the back of the white and blue goal, but the goal was (well) invalidated by offside by the eagles’ spearhead.
22 minutes: Shot by Diar Halili, in the half moon area of Benfica’s penalty area, with the ball coming out very close to the right post of the red goal.
17 minutes: Benfica scores! An excellent deep pass from André Gomes (the red goalkeeper hit from one area to the other) and Ricardo Nóbrega, after running away at speed to the last Porto stronghold, poked the ball over Ángel González and opened the scoring. 1-0.
16 minutes: Following a corner kick from Umaro Candé, on the right, Gabriel Brás headed just over the left post of André Gomes’ goal.
16 minutes: Doro Dabó, isolated, down to the right flank, saves André Gomes for a corner.
15 minutes: Free-kick by Hugo Félix and header by Nuno Félix to Ángel González.
14 minutes: Yellow card for Diar Halili.
14 minutes: Long-range shot by Hugo Félix for Ángel González’s tight save.
First 10 minutes marked by balance, still without any flagrant goal opportunity.
