Newest first, competitive matches settled in normal time. Our records begin in January 2024 and do not hold every match, so a meeting can be missing.

Rio Ave conceded most in 76-90+ (3 of 9). Sporting CP scored most in 46-60 (6 of 13) and conceded most in 76-90+ (6 of 11). Goals by the minute they were scored, from the last 10 competitive matches in our records that finished in normal time. Stoppage time counts in the band it extends, so a goal in the 45+2nd minute sits in 31-45+. A match whose minute record does not add up to the score is left out, and the matches row shows how many were used.
