One or two additional paragraphs can be added to these reports. The publisher is the one who makes the decision. The initial assumption is that extending the length of the story depends on the importance of the match, but in reality the criterion of adding these paragraphs seems unclear and even random, as this occurred in only a few of the matches rather than all (12 of the 80 analysed).

Thus, paragraphs added are as follows:

Another paragraph counts the changes made by the coaches of each team during the match, and also mentions the names of all players who participated in the match as well as the reserve players;

One additional paragraph reports on the yellow and red cards shown by the referee and the players from each team who received the cards.

These paragraphs are usually placed 4th and 5th in the order, respectively, so in these cases, the one referring to the classification moves to the sixth position and the one that deals with the next day’s event closes the text in the seventh position.
