The game
Arouca started the match controlling possession of the ball, but creating few chances to score in the first moments. Gradually, the home team found themselves on the field and finished in some opportunities, but they didn’t pose much danger to the opponent’s goal. The first half, then, ended with few chances to score and just one accurate finish, by Arouca.
The second stage had the same face as the first: some submissions, but very few accurate kicks. Possession of the ball was more balanced between the two teams in the last 45 minutes, but the chances did not appear. When it looked like the match was heading for a lukewarm 0-0, a penalty was scored in favor of Arouca after VAR review, in the 48th minute, and Morlaye Sylla converted the kick.
